Hi there. I've been watching the site for years but haven't posted much. Dug a LOT and hit every bottle and antique store I could when I was younger but sold off my collection in my mid 20's. I'm close to 40 now and that old bottle bug has never quite let go of me. I've still kept my eyes peeled for quality bottles but am trying to get more serious again and plan to dig as much as I can this summer. Anyway, here are a few pics of some cool finds over the last year or so. Hope I can get the pics to work...

These are a few I've found while hunting along the rivers and old industrial ares close to where I live.

Quaker Bitters pulled out of a river bank.

Ok, I see this isn't working. Any help on posting pics to this site?

This is a nice size food or pickle I guess. Found not too far down the river from the Quakers. Too bad it has a small lip chip.

This is a small group with labels I got from a local woman who was cleaning out an old barn. Who dosen't love an old label? It adds so much to the context.

Nice bottles. Just a recommendation, when you post pictures, check the Embed picture in post button.

Nice stuff there! You must be from SE Mass. I'm in the Little Rhody Bottle Club, and a few members collect bottles from the Fall River/Taunton/Attleboro region. I'm sure they would know all about your bottles.

We meet the second Tuesday of every month:

Will the check embed thing let me post more than one pic per post? that's what I need to figure out how to do as well as post pics without that attachment thing. Yes, ya got me pegged!!! Was it that easy? SE Mass....lol... I actually attended a few lil rhody bottle club meetings a few years back and have had it on my radar to check out again as I'm getting back into bottles. Really enjoyed the ones I attended.
