I'm so sorry I didn't get back to you guys sooner but I have been slammed with finals week coming up. But the good news is that I have a straight 4 point and only two weeks of school left!
I would have loved to go out last weekend but couldn't make it happen with all my school work and some car issues to round it out (*smh*). But I did kinda get to go on a bottle hunt today, sort of...
I was at my grandma's house helping my mom and aunts pack up my grandparents things for auction and I got nominated to go into the crawl space because nobody else wanted to go up there (Michigan style crawl space). And I found a HUGE crock and a box FULL of bottles that my grandma must have hidden for one reason or another... She was mysterious like that.
They gave me a few bottles for helping today, a clay Carter's Ink, and a small Atlas Good Luck (they gave me the gallon version last week and decided I needed that to complete the set tonight). I am really sad to inform you that the glass mailbox in the picture above was found in several different pieces in two places in the crawl space (what a heart breaker).
I don't know if either of you buy bottles or if you only dig but the auction is on Wednesday (28th) and if you'd be interested I could give you the information, I also took a few extra pictures while I was there tonight that I could post if you're interested. There are 10-15+ Warner's Safe Cure bottles (green, brown and clear... at least one of them is from London), tons of old sodas, beers and hutches (browns, clears and aquas), tons of old milk bottles, a myriad of mason jars (mostly clears and aquas that I've noticed), many many many medicines (blues, aquas, browns, clears), inks, clay bottles, etc. Cities I have seen frequently are Jackson, Saginaw, Durand, Williamston, Chicago, Detroit, a few TN cities, KY cities, and some foreign ones. Also there are a bunch of crocks (huge to tiny), vinegar cruets, pickle jars (very large to small), a full set of depression glass (pink), old toys, license plates, advertisement items... all kinds of assorted items. My grandparents were both avid collectors and that amounted to a lot of stuff!
Hope you don't think I am weird for mentioning it, I just thought I'd let you know since I don't think it would be terribly far for you (though I'm not positive) and they had a lot of really nice/ unique items. But I do have more pictures and I can post the web site for you if you'd be interested.
I hope you guys all had a great Thanksgiving and a great long weekend ahead of you still!
