    Lynch & Clarke New York. Mt Vernon Glass Works.

    I guess I better jump in on this. I wrote about NE Glassworks making L& Clarkes in the Spouter Newsletter. It came from a personal communication to me from a young guy who is a direct descendant of Oscar Granger. He wrote a masters thesis on Mt Pleasant and found an invoice from NE...

    Adirondack Spring Water

    I am very familiar with this bottle. It appears from the photo to be a pint, it is worth about $300 mint. The quart from whitehall is the $1000+ bottle, the quart from westport is about $5-600. I would hammer on that dump as saratogas are usually found in multiples. Mtn Man

    How Good Are You At ID'ing Shards?

    Hi Swizzle, This is a Boulle' (not sure of spelling) that is the remnants of the gather of glass on the pontil rod that the bottle is blown from. The red staining is iron oxide that comes off the tongs used to manipulate the glass. The glass at Mt pleasant cooled off very quickly as it was...
