    New cobalt poison

    Can anyone help me out with this one? Not a poison collector and have tried to find this particular one with no luck. Just wondering if it's a reproduction or torn of the century. The mold seams at every faint and they disappear just over the shoulder. It appears to be blown in mold but just not...

    Hey folks, I have 3 or 4 bottles that I would like to get cleaned. Is there anyone that would be interested in cleaning 4 master ink bottles? I am only asking if I could get them back in 4 to 6 weeks after sending out. The last and only bottle I sent out took about 3 months to get back. Please...

    Bottles are still my number one passion but my team at work bought me a metal detector for Christmas and I finally took it out for the first time last weekend.

    world fair bottle

    A friend of mine bought this bottle at an auction for $12. Any thoughts as to what it is and the value? I saw one on ebay for $20 and it was called a spirits bottle. I was thinking a barber bottle due to the top. It says "world fair 1939". Any help is appreciated.

    Old dump revisited 30 yrs later

    I flew back to Arkansas for a brief visit this weekend and talked my sister and brother in-law into taking me down to the river where I dug bottles at a TOC dump with my parents in the mid 70's. Its still not the best part of town with most homes torn down or abandoned and not exactly the safest...

    a few late sodas and an arrowhead

    I went to my favorite construction site that is just about ready to wrap it up. I found a few machine made sodas (big red and coke both 10 oz.) let me know if anyone wants these. You can pay for shipping and I'll send them to you (if they are even worth shipping). The biggest find came when a...

    Here's a shot of a milkglass bottle found near a railroad construction area. Not sure what it is. I found another pic of an identical bottle in an old bottle book but that bottle had a sheered of ground lip. This bottle has a screw top ground lip. Any thoughts? What would be the advantage of...

    Handed a 6" carters cathedral ink

    I was going to wait until I got some other pics but wanted to share a recent find that ended up in my hands this week. I'll try to make it quick. A guy that works for me does metal detecting and occasionally comes across bottles in his explorations. He had been meaning to bring these old bottles...

    Privy question

    I guess this would be a question for the avid privy diggers out there. I have an opportunity to explore a few privy locations on some private property and wanted to get some advice or suggestions. The home owner has 2 properties. One home was built in 1895 and the other was built in 1910. Are...
