Attic Finds

[DavidW]

Thanks. I’ve seen the first one only. Some good addl clues for sure.

Hello again Csa and East TN bottle guy! And everybody else! This post might get lost in the shuffle, but anyway I have been working on getting the liquor bottle permit numbers all together on one webpage (the ones I found online, extracted from two sites). I hope this will help a little!

This should be good for helping learn where (and when) some of the liquor bottles were made especially the ones from the 1930s-1950s that diggers are likely to find in the somewhat "newer" trash dumps and privies!

Some of the bottles still have the cork in them. Would a corkscrew break them or is there a better way to get them out intact?

I found one years ago on a colder day, carried it home in my hand and the heat from my hand caused the cork to pop out. Scared the daylights out of me.

This b

Found this in my liquor stash last night. I got this from a 96 yr old lady that had passed when I emptied out her rental. The triple sec was still great. It’s quite a heavy bottle with the “fed law prohibits sale or reuse” warning. So I was also trying to decipher the age on the bottom from the previous post so is this a 40’ find or a 60’ find?

The Pepto-mangan (gude) has been soaking in soft scrub for the last 4 or 5 days. This is the almost finished product. There is still some crud on the bottom of the back side. I'll let it soak for another 3 or 4 days. Really looks good with the first snow of 2022 in the background.

Got a blacklight yesterday to see if any of the bottles were uranium glass. 3 or 4 of them were. The pictures were tough to get so I only took a picture of 1.

Cleaned some more.

That Stafford looks like the one Shelbay found recently down in Cuba. Yours has the label though. [Great idea to look behind the insulation (but wear that mask!) Congrats to you and your Dad on a great find.]

I was wearing a mask, but I don't think that it was N-95. I'm not sure if the rating is only necessary for medical use or if anything less is essentially useless for large amounts of dust also. Thanks for the congrats. Also, does anyone know an estimated price for the staffords?

Best to wear a good mask. One or two fibers and you're a candidate for lung cancer and an early cash out...
