    Bellmont Georgia Bottle

    My son picked this up at an antique store in Texas recently and I have completely struck out researching it. Bellmont Bottling/Works/Bellmont, GA. It's a very small soda bottle (6 ounce I suspect) and looks to be 1900-1905 or so. I can't even find a town in Georgia named Bellmont, though...

    The Turf Saloon Flask Houston Texas

    Recently dug this large size (pint) flask from "The Turf", which was a saloon where you could gamble on horse races; it was situated right across the street from Western Union and that enabled them to offer this service. The saloon ran from 1899-1907 and was run by Charles Miles Lusk. The...

    E.B. Thompson's Liniment for Rheumatism Barnesville Georgia

    A friend of mine dug this in Galveston a couple months ago. Embossed "E.B. Thompson's/Liniment/For Rheumatism" and looks 1870's. Appears that he was out of Barnesville, Georgia in the late 1870's. Anyone seen one of these before?

    Sawyer's Precipitated Bluing Crystals

    Dug this broken bottle in Galveston yesterday and glued the pieces I had together. Having grown up in New Hampshire, I've dug it seems like a million Sawyer's Crystal Bluing bottles from all eras. When this popped out of the ground in Galveston I was a bit blown away; definitely a version I...

    Bull Dog Gin

    My son dug this flask on Sunday and I can't for the life of me figure out where it might be from. Usually stuff like this is pretty easy to track down because they are usually distributed pretty widely, but I can't find anything on this not can I find a record of this flask being ever sold or...

    New (Old) Awesome Display Cabinet

    After a long time searching, I was finally able to pick up a perfect bottle display cabinet (in my opinion) at a local antique store. It's real tall, fairly shallow, has glass on the sides and front, has adjustable shelves, is extremely sturdy, has glass shelves, and opens from the front. I'm...

    Wild Colored Porcelain Insulators

    Picked up these two insulators with a bunch of other porcelain insulators. Definitely some odd colors on these...not sure what the story is but they are pretty striking!

    Strange Poison Bottle

    My son dug this strange poison yesterday...on the one side it looks like a standard Eli Lily KV-1 poison bottle, but instead of having the rounded back, it is a true diamond shape. I don't have the poison bottle book but can't recall having ever seen one before.

    Cow Pot Lid

    Dug this pot lid yesterday in Galveston, Texas in a small trash pit. Sadly no sign of the base anywhere, but was tickled pink to find this nonetheless. I've seen one of these somewhere a long time ago but it seems like it was different than this. Anyways, I was super pleased to find this and...

    Comment Censoring

    In a first on this forum for me, I see that a comment of mine where I pointed out that someone was incorrect has been removed and the entire thread locked so that the incorrect information remains and there is no way to flag that the information is incorrect. I really did not feel that I was...

    Eye Popping Prices

    A couple people showed up at this auction with some money! I think record breaking prices for just about every flask in this auction...I only saw one flask lot that I would say went for market value. Not sure if it was the provenance (George McKearin) that did it or if there was something else...

    My Son's Metal Detecting Finds-Any Ideas

    We live in a new neighborhood that is built in an area that had not had much past development, but my son has a cheap metal detector and apparently is finding some odds and ends that appear to have some age in a random spot in the woods behind our house. He's found a little bit of glass there...

    Mrs. Winslow's Toothing Syrup (Not Soothing) Error Bottle

    My 9 year old son dug this bottle Sunday in Galveston. It's cracked but he insisted we bring it home and now I'm glad he did. I was washing it and something in the back of my mind told me something wasn't quite right...and sure enough, take a look at this. Mold maker accidently put in a T...

    Strange Blob Beer

    I ended up with a blob beer bottle in a large lot of beers I bought the other day that is quite odd. From a few feet away it looks like a slick slug plate 1880's beer. When I looked closer, however, this bottle is machine made. Honestly this is the first blob beer from the US that I have ever...

    New Hampshire or Massachusetts Hotel China

    Picked up a small plate a while back with a coat of arms on it that I can't source. It came with some other hotel china that was mostly from Massachusetts and New Hampshire and it has a Boston back mark so likely is from one of those two states or nearby. Anyone recognize this? Thinking...

    Cork Top KV-1 Poison with 1953 Label

    Picked this up yesterday...a KV-1 poison bottle with a label that dates to sometime after 1953. I had no idea that the cork-top versions of these were used so late! Nonetheless, this hobby will always surprise you! The seller had 10 KV-1's in three different sizes, all labeled and all $2...

    Hotel Platter Crest

    Picked up a small platter recently in a large lot of other hotel china. Most of the hotel china was from Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire, with the majority from the Alpine House, Fabyan House, and Pecketts (all northern New Hampshire). It has a W inside a crest...anyone have any ideas...
