I have a bunch of stuff...

[AiXeLsyD13]

I have a bunch of junk on my "bottle" shelf (& elsewhere) that's not exactly bottles. Here's some of the more interesting stuff...​

​

​

​

Well, this one was a bottle, but now it's a cheese-tray or some thing. I got it at a church rummage sale.​

​

​

​

​

A neat little cobalt oil lamp...​

​

​

​

​

I guess this is a bottle, but I dunno what kind. I just like guitars...​

​

​

​

​

Coca~Cola salt n' pepper shakers...​

​

​

​

​

The lil' lady got this for me...​

​

​

​

​

This Coca~Cola bank was my dad's, it's not old or anything...​

​

​

​

​

A replica sign...​

​

​

​

​

Lil' beer-mug looking shot glass...​

​

​

​

Coca~Cola night light...​

​

​

​

​

A sun-catcher from the New River Gorge Bridge...​

​

​

​

​

Creepy owl pitchers that I bought from antique stores in Bedford, PA a few miles apart. The green one caught my eye 1st, and when I saw the 2nd one I needed it for no apparent reason...​

​

​

​

​

I don't know if this mug is glass or ceramic...​

​

​

​

​

​

And I just thought this inkwell was incredibly interesting...​

Thanks! It just said "take me home!". Ha ha ha. The creepy owls are cool too... I've seen them on a bunch of sites for sale, sometimes valuable, sometimes not... I wonder if the handle placement has to do with any of it? I'm new to all this.

Any way to go about identifying the inkwell?

Waaaayyy cooooolllll stuff!!! You're a Pittsburgher? I lived there for 25 years, am in the desert southwest now. I especially like the blue lamp, the NRG suncatcher, the inkwell and the owl pitchers.

You ready to do some Pgh. digging AiX? I have a few places that I've been scoping out on my drive through the NorthSide. Maybe if you have a free day sometime we can hit one or two pits.

I was born in the 'Burgh, raised in the southeastern 'burbs, and now live in Dormont.

Zanes, I would love to do a dig. Never did that before. How does one go about it?

 

[AiXeLsyD13]

Somethign about the lamp caught my eye. I really liek blue & green glass. Once I had the green owl though, & I saw the amber one... I had to get it. My girlfriend actually bought me the cart from a craft show. Her family was laughing when she said she was going to give it to me for Christmas... they all thought it was junk, but I loved it!

Hey guys,...I've got a ladyfriend that lives on the north side (mexican war district).....her place is ancient (still has the old Allegany City house # carved in the stone sill out front...., her courtyard is tiny...adjoins four other propertys out back by an old carriage house...trouble is she has it all bricked and fishponds etc , back there...otherwise I'd have hit her up to dig for the privy....I'm sure ther's a few privys left to dig around Pittsburgh...

I drive right by the Heinz Plant on the North Side every morning. I've got my eye on a couple of places. I'm on my way out the door to go by there right now as a matter of fact.

I work down by Canonsburg, there's a lot of old houses down here, too.
