Unknown amber suburst pattern bottle

I really dont think is too old, most likely 50s or 60s but it looked kind of interesting so I took it off a a friends hands who was cleaning out the common stuff. Only the lower section of the top is threaded. Has a smooth section on one side where maybe a label was, and 2 separate spots on the...

Unembossed 12 sided bottle

Hopefully some more good stuff will come from where this came from. This was behind a house that looked to go back to the 1860s at least. I'll be heading out there again tomorrow

Unembossed 12 sided bottle

I found this scratching around the surface in some old dumps that had 50s-60s garbage on top, and some older stuff like this was mized in, this was the only older bottle that wasnt broke. It had a piece of the cork left in it which kept it still sealed and had some yellow powdery substance still...

16oz Teem

So I found one of these the other day while exploring an abandoned railroad yard that was once a scrap yard as well. I looked around online and cant seem to find much even on the smaller sizes of this brand, never mind anything on the one pint version I found. Is this anything to hang onto or...

insulator help

Did a little checking up after I posted that, and I might have guessed a little too high. Slashtops and Crosstops(Like Trying not to break its) in aqua, light blue and light green seem to be going for the $15-$30 a piece range depending on damage. Trying not to break it: you can probably...

insulator help

Yep, thats an LRI alright. This style is known as a "slashtop". They would be mounted to the side of a house or barn with the brackets shown in the picture that trying not to break it posted. The tie wire would go through the hole and be wrapped around to hold the ground wire to the insulator...

Odd shaped milk

I found this piece today while walking the railroad tracks looking for insulators. I cant say that I've ever seen a milk shaped like this one before, anyone familiar with something this?

Is this a poison?

I know its not worth much of anything, but I only kept this one because of the color and the corrugations on the sides and I thought it looked neat. When I found it there was a wire holder under the cap with two strips of what looked like felt hanging down into whatever was once in here....any...

Flasks in antique shop

I'm probably going to go back up next week and pick up at least the unembossed amber and one of the aquas. I'll have to look through them more closely and see if theres anything good hiding on the bottom of the crate....

Flasks in antique shop

I stopped by an antique shop yesterday just to see what they had, and I was suprised to find almost the whole back half of the store filled with bottles. It was mostly local hutches, milks, and sodas (most seemed overpriced). However a milk crate full of flasks caught my eye. I'm really dont...

Thunder Bucket/Threadless Insulator

I am also now convinced that bottle diggers find better threadless while looking for bottles, than do most insulator collectors who dig for threadless! I gotta find me a privy around here to dig.....

Thunder Bucket/Threadless Insulator

Nice finds! The insulator from that angle looks to be a CD732. Books $400-$500 in that color.
