Berbice River black glass on my early 20th century organ

This is some of the oldest black glass that will be found in philly.
It comes from a site where the Swedes landed. They were the first settlers in philly. They had wars back and forth with the Native Americans.

I hear you there Bram. I consider that bottle a much rarer find here in New England than any Stoddard or any other bottles produced here in New England. As fragile as it is I doubt there are many in existance anywhere considering the age. I know I will never find another like it. I have no plans to sell or trade it.

They are indeed, they are from pre-Goldrush station sites, both creek finds.
The pickle has a 1846 British rego diamond on the base, tried to get a photo of the base but could not get it clear enough for some reason.

The oldest bottle that I found would be a free-blown ale from about 1800. Unfortunately It was broke when I moved a few years ago.
Oldest I own would be these two.
Oldest piece I have that I dug is this jug,Damaged but was still a happy dig!
