Hello,
Went kayaking and exploring shores of a few islands in one of the bays. Been there before and found mostly shards, occasional intact milks and slicks. Got a bit more lucky yesterday - two 3-mold whiskeys, a Lawson milk, a nice cream pint from Reid's Ice Cream Co., a crier Wasboe's...
Hello,
Well, I found a couple of criers today as well. The first was a bottom part of a blue pony bottle. Beautiful color. And the came this: a square bottle with weak embossing on one of the two remaining sides as follows:
...EKER
...TENDORF (or ...TENDORP?)
...RINGEN
Has anyone came...
Hello everyone,
Whoever went to Baltimore Bottle show yesterday, I hope you enjoyed it. It was nice to chat with some of you and find a few nice bottles for my NYC collection.
This piece was found in a box under a table and for a few bucks I couldn't miss it. Never saw this one and a quick...
Hello,
This came from the ocean yesterday. Lots of bubbles, crudely applied lip. Strange that is says 3OL on the bottom yet holds 5oz (150ml). First of this kind for me. What did it contain?
Hello,
This came from the same area as the previous item. The guy was most likely holding a scythe. There is also a stand but no marking on that either. The figurine is about 12" tall. Any ideas? Age?
Thanks!
Hello,
This was found in the ocean, not far from the shore, in the area which produces 1890s and younger bottles.
It says on both sides

Hello,
Trying to identify a few shards.
The first is unembossed tall and narrow amber, 2 1/4 in diameter and probably 9" tall. How is this bottom with the bud in the middle called, by the way?
The second is green, with letters in circle, don't know where to start to read the name.
The third is...
Completed my art project for New Year's celebration. Most of my bottles come from the ocean and, naturally, more shards than intact ones. Heartbreaking. But I thought I might do something with 19th century bottle necks and bottoms so here it is. 32 necks cut, painted different colors on the...
Hello everybody,
My girlfriend has bought several inks at a garage sale. They all smooth-based. Any idea where those were made and approximately when?
Thanks a lot!

All the best,

Hello all!
Those two wide-mouth bottles were found recently and I'm curious what they were used for. Applied lip. They measure 8 1/2' tall, the wider one has three dots on the bottom.
Thanks,
Kost
Hello all,
Here's one of the recent finds. A tall (8 1/2') green 8-sided bottle with a long neck (2 1/2'). What did it contain? Thanks for your help.

Hello everybody!
Recently found three small medicine bottles. Searched the Internet and was only able to find the NYC pharmacist Eschmann listed in a book of 1901 (the top left bottle) Any additional into on him or scarcity of the bottle would be helpful.
The other two didn't return any...
