Wow, that dog is WILD! Where did you get him/her? I've got to get one of those, next time I need to blame a foul odor in the air on the dog all I would have to do is point at that canine's... tail... neck... tail and there would be no questions!

Joe, I'll look around, some of my favorite ultra macro shots of bubbles in glass are of that hock wine. Other than the deep aqua color, bordering on cornflour, and some wicked crude folds and inclusions, it is just a place holder til I dig an IXL Bitters of like color.

Steve,....Love the whimsey dog!.....Not sure about the utility bottle. It came out of a past, long gone local dump, last bottle when I was calling it a day, and actually had a 95% missing flared lip....It's pontiled too,...and it certainly has that lockport color. I always suspected it might be from there. ( I should add too, that I gave the little utility to Laur, for her collection)[] Joe

You know that style of utility and the green color with high iron content and you tell me there was a flared lip looks afully colonial in manufacture.Joe your bottle or now Laurs bottle may be late 18th century possibly Albany New Yorks Mclallen and Mcgregors glass works 1788 1795.Check out this colonial Philadelphia Newspaper they shipped there glass quite a distance.

The ad in the Newspaper Joe and Laur

Oh and look at the bottom of the glass ad (Tickets in the FEDREAL CITY LOTTERY May be had at Samuel Coopers ferry.Samuel Cooper owned all of which is now present day Camden New Jersey.Hospitols,roads parks you name it are named for him.The lottery is being held essentially to raise money to litterally bulid Washington DCs Capitol and White House!!!

 

[Steve/sewell]

I have another ad I cant quite seem to locate at the moment showing the same firm blowing green bottles (common bottles)but they were in fact green in color of all sorts and sizes.

Awesome dog, Steve. I told Joe how cute he was and that I wanted one. Long pause, "Um, those are like realllly expensive, honey." LOL

Get outta here, my favorite bottle (besides my Jenny Lind!), could be from the late 1700's?! We definitely have to research this and try to get back into that digging spot. Joe's going to talk to our mayor about it (not PennDigger); we're in a different village. His brother owns property adjacent to this old dig spot. Joe also dug The Honble Lady Hill bottle out of there (it is also a very early pontiled bottle. Here's a funny trivia fact. When Joe dug those bottles, I was only about four! LOL!![][]

Your old newspaper is way cool too. How do you handle something like that without it crumbling? Where can I find one?

Great bottles, everyone. I really enjoy the pictures. This was a good idea for a post, Rick.

Laur the newspapers from the 1700s and early 1800s are in much better shape then their mid 1800s to now counterparts.
Unless a colonial newspaper was in a hostile evironmental place like a damp basement or hot attic they can be handled very easily.As for aquiring them
ebay is crawling with them from prices as low as 5 dollars to as high as 12,000 for very historical papers mentioning Revolutionary war battles Washington Jefferson ect..Most 1790 to 1830 newspapers sell for an average price of twenty dollars for a complete 4 page addition with good historical news of the day and great ads lots for early medicine bottles.
