HI there!... your home rule pipes are of course of Irish design and are exactly the same as examples which are found all over Ireland. This partifular style dates them to 1912.

You are finding some amazing bottles and history.

Some great finds there.

Hey Lodza,

This is interesting. How does it's impress differ with the 1876 style. Do'ya suppose it was made at Rouses's Point? What about that whole duty dodge business?

Shoulda said "Home Rule III, The Unresolved..."

Is this

the same vintage or another?

Hey Brian,

Thanks, man. I like that ink, too, but so far have not found anything on it, and I don't have a Covill's

I went back to the site today to give the owner the Gulden's & the Charles A. Vogeler model. He liked em, and appreciated the history behind them, as did his wife. We had a great time breeze shootin, gotta tour of the remodeling of the building. Did a bunch'a dot connecting, and it turns out I had met him once about 10 years ago. I had the hardest time making him understand what I wanted when I originally was asking permission to dig. He thought I wanted to take his dirt piles, or something.

****Six shades of Kevin Bacon, the guy's an artist with a wife from Bucharest. Does that ring any doppelgängers for ya, cyberchaz? Not only that, he's originally from Joisey...

Ya know I'm a fool for a nice bootleg

I've still got over 100 bootleg vinyl LPs from the early 1970s thru the early 1980s. There was this cool record store in San Jose on Third Street called Underground Records...this went way off topic...[8D]

Jeepers, Jason, I thought I was a bad one for taking threads off the original topic ?!! Unless one of your "bootlegs" is the old "Living Doll" number - or maybe "These boots were made for walking " !! []

That boot is an ink bottle from Bennington pottery. I had one years ago and sold it for $75 if I recall. Nice digs!!

Hi surfaceone; I will go back and look again where you commented about the venting. I have been putting together a blog on venting for a couple years and always looking for different examples. I assume you were referring to the lettering venting. That is a problem with some small bottles and with bottles that had sunken panels.

You also mentioned a possible bird swing in the neck of a bottle. They are usually only found in the main body of a bottle, where the glass got stuck to the opposite side wall glass and pulled a cord of glass across the cavity.

I liked the next picture of the two decorated embossing in the molds. I would like to know more about them.

Nice thread of coverage. Thanks! RED Matthews

The boot was made in Akron, Ohio by the American Marble & Toy Manufacturing Co, sometime between 1891 and 1904. Originally came with a cork in the hole. All of these were found at the factory site including the two rejects that are glazed together.

Hey Brian,

Thank you for the positive ID. Was it an ink? Was it a toy?

I know they were the guys that made the Blue Santa.

I always wanted to dig one of those. No luck so far...

Is this your excellent site? http://akronmarbles.com/default.htm You old mibologist, you.
