Hemingrey Wax Sealer Fruit Jar GLASS LID Wanted

RE: Hemingway Wax Sealer Fruit Jar GLASS LID Wanted Alrighty. It's hard to make promises when it comes to bottles, but I'll definitely keep my eye out for you whilst digging. EVERYONE in my area used to do lots of canning, because it is so remote. Find broken wax sealers quite often.

Hemingrey Wax Sealer Fruit Jar GLASS LID Wanted

RE: Hemingway Wax Sealer Fruit Jar GLASS LID Wanted Know this is a really old thread, but I was wondering if you'd ever found your lid? I've got one shaped almost the same way as the clear ones dollarbill posted, except it's aqua and a bit crude. However, do I understand correctly that his...

Miller & Lambert?

Christmas bulb?

Oh and justdigit; I don't have any more pics of it at the moment... the item is packaged up with the rest of my stuff. I may have to dig around and see if I can find it again. I have accumulated so much old cool stuff that I don't know what to do with it all anymore lol

A couple bottles...

Cool, thanks for the help! Makes me all the sadder that it's cracked. :( Oh well... it is really brittle. It got some pretty bad mineral stains on it, some of the stains actually look deep enough to be dings, believe it or not. I still might clean it up. If it looks nice aside from the crack...

Christmas bulb?

Here's something I found on a dump while hunting around; is it a cartoon dog, or a person with a hunting hat with a rifle and satchel? http://www.bottledigger.net/attachment.php?id=5688

Air raid siren?

Not sure if this is the right place to put this... if it isn't, sorry mods. Please move it! ;) Came across a curious item this week... it's an air raid siren. I haven't been able to find one quite like it on eBay, 'cept for some that look alike aside from their steel handles. These are made...

A couple bottles...

Found 2 items in the basement on a job that I was doing... one is a red painted 1qt milk bottle, labeled West End Dairy, pastuerized. Paint is still fair, and needs a cleaning. No visible cracks or dings at this point, but it's possible that I may find some when I clean it. The other is a mason...

Post a pic of the best bottle you own or have ever owned

Yeah, the wording is pretty flat the whole way round. Better language for me to have used would have been the first aqua I've seen. I was sad to find a broken Wisharts alongside it. Wish that one were still intact. I kept it anyway lol Theres still digging to do in the area that I found it...

Best bottle that I've ever dug. I let her go. It was a one-of-a-kind, blowout flap on the side, nice, deep open pontil, no stains and in mint condition. One of the few known to have been blown in aqua glass.
