Hi Folks,
This is, more than anything, a ‘keep-alive’ message; I haven’t been out to the dump very often in the past few weeks and haven’t found anything interesting to share. I don’t want to lose my account due to inactivity, so here’s about the best thing I could come up with!
Good news: I’ve been finding older bottles. Bad news: They’re mostly like this [
]. No embossing on this bottle, other than ‘D 508’ on the bottom. It’s about six inches tall. The mold seam stops about an inch below the lip. Lopsided. Real bubbly, thick glass.
So, what sort of bottle is this? What sort of thing would it have contained? How old (my guess: 1880’s). I actually kind of like this homely vessel… go figure.
