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"...
I have listed the Sister's Hospital Pharmacy bottle from Buffalo, NY on ebay. The starting bid is low. There is also a Utica, NY 1915 Coke bottle. Good luck if you bid. Thanks. stonebottle...
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...
I picked up this bottle in NY back in May. It is listed as being George Britenbaker from Honesdale in NE PA. From the shape of the bottle I would date it to the early 1850's. This guy is hard to find information on, so I was hoping one of our NE PA members might have seen or heard of it. Any...

Hello. Found this ink in NY state near an old foundation. I was looking for stoneware but found this. Any ideas on color, age, value, etc. would be appreciated. It is 12-sided, has a jagged open pontil, and appears to be cornflower blue or some shade of blue. Thanks all. stonebottle.
