    Wright’s Dairy Farm ISO

    Thank you so much for trying! I wanted it as a gift for someone who lives very close to the farm and I searched for hours myself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wright’s Dairy Farm ISO

    Hi all, I am trying to find a bottle from Wright’s Dairy Farm in North Smithfield, RI. Would anyone happen to have one for sale? I can’t seem to find any examples of one either though the farm has been around since 1914. Thank you Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Bentley’s French Dressing

    Thank you for checking and for all the additional information. I am very surprised it’s scarce. Yes, it is a square bottle. I had heard of “shoe dressing” but I wondered why it would be “French”.

    Bentley’s French Dressing

    Hi all, I got this bottle at an estate sale yesterday. There were literally hundreds of bottles but all looked rather common, not that I am an expert. I just liked the writing on this one, it’s local to me, and I don’t have it so I decided to get it. Now I can’t seem to find others like it...

    Need help from a jeweler!

    I am from Eastern Europe and I think he is right. My great grandmother used to have one of these.

    What you do other than bottles

    Wow, these photos are amazing. Are you a professional photographer? Me, I am a banker so I don't have much time for anything these days. Bottles are my only hobby.

    Should I get them?

    I am going to take a look tomorrow. Unfortunately without you guys helping, I will be lost. Even if I came upon a treasure, I wouldn't be able to tell.

    Ready to give up

    So here is the story on that german bottle.. I am originally Bulgarian, so on my last visit to Europe, I decided to visit this really popular open market for antiques. It's quite impressive, right in front of the national cathedral, which has three enormous golden domes. It apparently took 4...

    Should I get them?

    Hi guys, Someone is offering me 100+ bottles for $200. He only sent me a few pictures and they are not that great. What do you think? Are they worth it?

    Hi all, I have a tiny collection so far and none of it is very rare but wanted to share it and maybe get some info on some of my bottles. I couldn't find anything on some of them. Here it is. Please, don't laugh.[&o] http://www.kodakgallery.com/I.jsp?c=6fpafloc.4dmuibsw&x=0&h=1&y=-6z4d8g

    Where are you located? I am not sure if the message was for me or capsoda.

    Ready to give up

    Wow. Thank you. I can't believe you can get all this from satellite images. I will check out these areas for sure. They are all probably on Preservation Trust land but it's worth a try. The brick factory was abandonded in 1930. There is a house in the background on the old picture I found in...

    Ready to give up

    I have to say, I am really afraid of diving but I have thought about it. Anyone here who lives close by willing to let me come along on a dig and watch? I would love to see it. Maybe that would help me find my own spot. And no one responded to my probe question. Any suggestions?

    Ready to give up

    Many thanks to everyone who offered advice. To the rest, I had no idea I could start such a "diatribe" with an innocent question. Please set my thread free of pissing contests. Much appreciated. Now back to the Quest of the Newbie as I think this thread may prove to be useful to many others to...

    Ready to give up

    Thanks to everyone who responded. I certainly didn't just expect to walk by a house and get an invitation . That's why I said I had spent a great amount of time reading and researching. I looked at very old photographs, maps etc. There is a fair amount of really old houses here but no one seems...

    Ready to give up

    So I am almost ready to give up. I have been quietly reading the forum for months. I even asked the typical newbie questions about how you go about finding privies. I read books on bottles, on outhouse design, historical books about the area I live in, looked at Sanborn maps and...NOTHING. I...

    Anyone see the privy dig episode

    There is a whole section of the discovery channel website about the show. I am really interested in these Sanborn maps they are talking about. I checked the link they have provided under the Treasure Hunt toolkit link but it takes you to a website which requires authorized (and I think, very...
