    The well was'nt a well....

    IanDana and dumpdiver - How tall is that A. K. stoneware bottle? That place really does look like a time capsule, it is amazing the wooden spoon didn't even start to rot. Also, there seems to be quite a mix of ages in there. Great job. stonebottle

    DNS stoneware bottle

    Caz - David Graci lists the bottle in his first book, but there is no information on who the bottler was or where it was from. I am originally from northern NY and have never seen one. The lip style is unusual for a NY stoneware bottle, it could even be Canadian. Can you tell the age from...

    Andrew Lawrence York, Pa Iron Pontil

    Ryan and Pasodas, Thanks very much for the information. Ryan, I know from your posts that if you do a lot of digging in York county and that if you have not seen many of these they must be very hard to come by. Pasodas, I thought the top of his bottle was a bit wider but I could be wrong. I...

    Andrew Lawrence York, Pa Iron Pontil

    The picture I have added is from the sodasandbeers website. It is similar to the bottle I am asking about, but I believe the top was different. Thanks again.

    Andrew Lawrence York, Pa Iron Pontil

    A friend of mine at work recently found a green iron-pontil mineral water bottle on his property near York, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture, but I did see the bottle. He carried it to work in his pocket and wondered if it was any good! The embossing is "Andrew Lawrence"...

    William Bosse Spruce Beer

    William Bosse was a bottler from Washington, DC. I think he was in business around 1860. I remember bottles with his name on them selling for around $150. There are not many stoneware bottles from any bottler that are stamped "Spruce beer", that should help the value. Most of his bottle's...

    Brown Bros salt glazed bottle

    diggerdirect, The fultonhistory.com website is a great place to search old newspapers. I figured that was probably where you found the information, if it wasn't give it a try. There are tons of old papers there, including Syracuse and Oswego. If you do sell the Brown Bros, I would probably...

    Brown Bros salt glazed bottle

    I do not remember seeing that one before. Were there other bottles found with it from the Syracuse area, besides the one you posted? There are stoneware bottles from Syracuse, Rochester, and Oswego that had yellow tops, so it may be local to that area. It is also true that there are Canadian...

    Age and value of these bottles

    They were made in England. Some were also made in Scotland and other parts of the UK. Either way, they are from the United Kingdom. Anywhere from 1850 or so up to 1920 or so. The white bottom portions are usually called Bristol glaze. It was a high-quality glaze used in England a lot. That...

    Where is this Stone Beer from?

    There are many different versions of that stoneware bottle. Check out this website, it is probably the best place to find info. on stoneware bottles. It includes the information from the books by David Graci and many other sources. Tod von Mechow has done a great job on this site...

    Sister's Hospital Pharmacy bottle dug in NY

    Last one. Another view of the entire bottle. This must be from Buffalo, NY. The hospital can be found on the internet, it was established about 1848 and is still in business. I would like to know what this bottle held and what the rarity/value would be?? The form looks 1870's but the dump...

    Sister's Hospital Pharmacy bottle dug in NY

    Here is an unusual bottle I dug last weekend. It was found in a dump that was mostly 1890's bottles in upstate NY. The front has a fancy circle around the embossing "Sister's Hospital Pharmacy 1833 Main St. Buffalo". The top is a blob top, the wire and stopper were present when found but they...

    A bunch of Coca-Cola bottles... with a twist

    Bob, My brother does not want to get rid of his Utica, NY 1915 Coke at this time, but Thanks for the offer and for answering questions. It is very possible he will find another one in the same area, if he does we will keep you in mind. stonebottle
