We're looking for the 18th century stuff. We do have a lot of European plate shards from that period and hope to find glass. Boxes of stuff to go through.
Not in this batch for sure. But, there are a lot more to look at. Holding out hope.Most of those tops are more like late 1800's. I see nothing in the glass you have photographed that dates to anywhere near the 1700's unfortunately.
On the surface one might incorrectly think this, but the area was used over a period of many years and looking at it this way it's relatively few liquor bottles.Here's some liquor tops we'll be trying to date! They liked to drink!
Looks like a pocket flask I really need one too wowWe are back to researching a home site in Louisiana occupied by same family from early 1700's to today. Lots of glass we are trying to identify and date. You folks are the best resource we know so hope you don't mind with some help. I'll try to keep questions to a minimum. Here's an example. We have these three pieces pictured. The top and center definitely are part of same bottle but not sure of base. Mold line on top piece stops at lip and lip appears tooled. Base looks similar but seems cruder with ground pontil. See pictures. So, are these two different bottles, what were they and how old? Thanks for bearing with us!
Looks like you have a lot of different age they're usually the clear stuff is the 90s 1890s colored stuff usually falls in the 1880s but without seeing them whole and seeing the bottoms it's hard to tell in that picture always look at your seam line usually the lower the line the older the bottle the lion from the top the lower it gets the older the bottle usually unless it's a turn mode but anything with a the scar the bottom is deathly old be very careful of the pontil Mark Mark at the bottom of blown bottles they will lay you wide open be careful they're extremely Sharp I've seen bottles with a panel so bad that the bottom wouldn't even stand up be careful on them panel scarsHere's some liquor tops we'll be trying to date!
