    Probe?

    I hope nobody watching Oak Island thinks a probe should be designed or used the way archaeologist Laird and helper Alex just illustrated. Jeez...

    New to me local drugstore

    In 49 years of collecting, I had never seen nor heard of this one. Stuff like this is what keeps me going. Ebay snag.

    "Finished pontil." Seriously?

    Carlcat does it again. Anything to make a sale. Of course the American flag and the dressing room mirrors make up for it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204115493603?hash=item2f863b42e3:g:O-IAAOSwr6djQyo2

    Ross' Jamaica Lime Juice

    Anybody familiar with this bottle? Picked it up at a thrift store years ago for next to nothing, and have yet to see another, not that that means anything. Common, scarce, worth cleaning or don't bother? Height 11⅞", diameter 2⅞". Two-piece mold, very slight whittle.

    R.M. Rose

    Found this one last weekend. Figured it was a commoner, but found out that the pottery pieces from the Atlanta company are actually the more frequently seen. Not a high dollar bottle by any means, but I was just glad it wasn't my usual slickster find. I thought it would be the same size as...

    My first 'nut.

    Finally put one on the shelf after years of procrastinating and hesitating. Great little early piece of glass.

    The Indians Panacea

    I haven't posted much lately, but here's one that I finally put on the shelf after first seeing it about 30 years ago. Fairly rare, with a few examples out there, but I wanted this specific example. It's as crude as I've seen in any embossed mold blown bottle. No etching or staining. What...

    Long time coming.

    Added these the other day after asking every once in a while for about 20 years. The high shoulder quart completes the set, unless there's another mold out there. Only one I've seen. The hutch was just more gravy for my Americus bottles. Love this hobby!

    "Pontilated"?

    Oh, brother. Although no picture of the base is shown, I'd bet the house that it's a later smooth based variant. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Sarsaparilla-Bottle-Moulded-Pontilated-Tapered-Applied-And-Tooled-Top-F/184653600880?hash=item2afe365870:g:rYcAAOSwY8FgH3Cx

    Hit the creek post-Sally today

    Today was the first sunny day we've had since the water went back down. It's supposed to cool down after today, so I took the afternoon off to see how things looked. The bank runs 6 to 8 feet above the water during normal conditions, and the amber Hannis was laying in the sand that was left in...

    Smyrna, Ga. Bottle Show cancelled

    The Smyrna (Atlanta) show has been cancelled, not on part of the club, but by the hosting facility due to none other than COVID. They are looking for another facility, but this will take time. This was to be their 50th anniversary show, so it's a big disappointment. I'll let everyone know as...

    Cleaned up a little...

    It's a job to clean the windows in my shop of the dust, spider webs and dead bugs and all, so it rarely gets done, so I figured I'd shoot a picture while I was at it. Nothing special, just something to look at while I'm working.

    Didn't know if any of you jarheads had checked this out yet or not. Some hellacious jars here. Scroll down to the bottom of the page for more, click on the "link" for the jar you want to see...

    Pimple pontil? For crying out loud. https://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-ANTIQUE-HAND-BLOWN-BITTERS-BOTTLE-MAINSTONE-DISTILLERY-PIMPLE-PONTIL/313104105255?hash=item48e6757f27:g:tIMAAOSwd4pe1rKK...

    Mark Vuono, RIP

    Found out today that Mark Vuono was killed at his jewelry store in Stamford, Connecticut Saturday afternoon in an apparent armed robbery. Mark was our hobby's foremost expert on early historical flasks with probably the finest collection currently in existence. He followed in the collecting...

    More creek finds

    Took a break and hit another creek Thursday while the conditions were right. The LRI was laying on a gravel bar. Thought it was the top off a large broken utility until I picked it up. Don't know what was wrong with me not taking pictures before I picked everything up. I gotta tighten up.

    Creek finds

    Found these items yesterday. I was particularly happy to find my first undamaged pipe.

    Big Chief

    Took the dogs for a walk in the woods behind my shop and found this in the leaves along with a few beer, milk and Clorox bottles. A few pieces of enamel ware were laying around too. I'll have to go back and rake through it and see if anything else worthwhile pops up.

    New shelf from old box

    When my kids were young, I made each of them a box for their toys that they could slide under their beds. We were really cramped for space in those days. I cut one of my earliest signs that I had hung on to for the bottoms and some scrap 1 bys for the sides. I was rummaging through the...
