A few of my favorite chestnuts

Chris,

Much of the glass shards that I have from Wistarburgh and Germantown are so similar... right down to the lip treatments.

These privy-dug pieces may have come from your area originally, however, I can match up 90% of the glass you have pictured to Germantown glass shards acquired right from the factory site. I just thought you might want to know, and I will take a picture of a few of them for you.

Can't say I remember having a 19 rib German half-post flask but I do know that I've had 19 vertical rib nursers that very well could have been made in the Mid-Atlantic States in that general time frame. Great shards by the way!

Thanks everyone

Steve we got nothing intact from that privy I did glue about 80 percent of a very nice circa 1770s-80s slipware bowl back together. The pit had seen quite a bit of dipping.
