I just found that little bottle in front of the honey amber one today, and knew I'd see it in this thread, any idea what it was used for or the maker? On another note, it was one of the hardest digs ever, I've never seen so much tin in one hole, if tin was worth as much as copper. I would have had a few hundred bucks.

Jim VTdigger,...They are cool little bottles. I wish I could tell you their origin and use, but do not know....It was given to me be a very good friend. Even tin is higher in value right now.[;)] Seems as though if that star bottle was in there, there may be some other cool stuff as well.

Real nice Stephen...I was thinkin about star shaped bottles just like your poisons and even "Baltimore star" shaped inks,...and how this sub collection might just grow in leaps and bounds....[;)] Thanks for showing those.

There is a Star Bottling Works hutch from Kansas City that i'm trying desperately to find. We have a photo of it for our Missouri book, but would love to find the bottle for sale if anyone ever happens to come across one. [:)]

All the best,
~Tim

RE: My update on assorted Star bottles...

Tim,...will keep a look out for your Star bottling works hutch,....I did a few pics of even more cool 'Star' themed bottles,....Some from generous forum members here....Among folks who have just up and sent me real cool star bottles lately...I want especially to thank Swiz, Cyberdigger, slag pile digger, Cookie, and epackage! (Cookie sent the great little aqua and amber half pints!) It's awesome how kind and generous you guys (and most of our forum members) are! Thanks for adding this cool stuff and making this a serious sub collection, and also thanks for posting all of your cool star related bottles...There are a lot out there.

Here's some pics.
