I did some trading with a good friend of mine recently and was able to add 3 new colors to my BOYD Baltimore torpedo soda color run. These all date from about 1845 to 1848
We dug in philly again this weekend after a not so successful weekend of digging in Virginia last week. The pit was a bit shallower only a 26 footer but still had about 4 feet of nice pontiled layer. We got about 10 iron pontiled sodas and a couple nice pontiled meds and some other odds and...
We dug another decent philly pit this weekend I ended up with first pick and took this R.W. Babingtin Chester , Nj. pontiled soda. Does anyone have an idea about rarity or value on this one.
Thanks

We dug another deep brickliner in Philly on Saturday. It wasn't as good as the one a couple weeks ago but still wasn't bad. It measured in at 31 feet deep. We found a couple dozen pontiled sodas some stoneware bottle and several pontiled meds. Also there were about a hundred milks and blob beers...
Dug a loaded pit in Philadelphia on Sunday in the pouring down rain got 274 pontiled sodas 48 stoneware bottles and 15 other assorted pontiled bottles and some other miscellaneous stuff. It took us 22 hours to dig and fill in the pit so we finished up about 4:30am and decided to just take all...
I thought I'd post a little Baltimore Glass works Color for everyone to enjoy today. This group consists of 3 piece mold iron pontiled whiskeys and porters. All blown at a Baltimore area glass house during the 1840s-50s.
Just wondering if anyone here knows where this bottle may be from? I've spent days researching it to no avail. I was hoping perhaps someone else might have better luck.

Here is a grouping of three piece mold iron pontiled whiskeys all blown in the same mold. These were probably blown at a Baltimore glass house in the late 1840s early 1850s. The deep puce amethyst example is a recent addition to the group.

I recently picked up this London Medicated Health Restorer S.A. Foutz Baltimore Md. in a nice peachy topaz color. And this super crude yellow pontiled umbrella.

Found this great blue eagle soda yesterday in a small rectangular wood lined privy dating to the late 1840s early 1850s. Likely blown in Baltimore it has the same top found on several different Baltimore ten pin sodas.

Here is a molded redware tea pot circa 1810-20 Most people would expect this to be an English made piece but I have found much more evidence that earthenware molded tea pots were being produced in most major east cost cities by the early 19th century this example has a very atypical light brown...
Here are 3 quart size 3 piece mold Baltimore porters. All are iron pontiled and in strikingly different colors. The yellow one on the left is a new addition I just picked up as part of a trade. All were blown in the same mold.
