A few of my favorite chestnuts

Potstone,

Those are fantastic chestnuts! What is the rib count on the pitkin?

Thanks for asking. The Pitkin type has a 16 rib count. Greg

The amber one is from the Glass works Auction. I've been doing
alot of research on the one with the Pitkin type and it possibly could be from Hilltown Glass Works from comparisons with examples of shards of glass dug at the site. It's all speculation. You have some really nice chestnuts there.

A great group of 18th century SJ chestnuts Steve!

The 16 rib Pitkin-type is great - I do not know exactly where and when they were made but they strike me as 18th century SJ types. Love to hear other folks thoughts...

Jeff, Steve,

Have either one of you ever run across any "South Jersey Pitkins" made in a 19 rib mold in a nice sea green color? We have dug shards of several of them in Burlington. Heres a picture of some shards from one early privy dating 1770s-1780s.
