South Jersey Glass Only

[trussin]

Hey all,
Moving to Williamstown,NJ. Selling everything that wasnt blown within 30 miles of the house. Only Ive serched for ever and cant find any easy way of figureing out what was blown near by. Oh there was tons blown...just no easy way. So the question is has anyone ever seen an inventory of bottles blown at any south jersey glass works? I could really use the help. Im guessing inventories exist, just cant find em. JB in NJ

Collect stuff marked Wheaton[]

thanks for the advice G. I cant tell you how many times I hit the brakes at a yard sale for Wheaton. I know this sounds dumb but I dont think anyone has the information I am looking for. I have seen similar things from stoneware companies but bottle inventories dont exist I guess. I have Fislerville Jenny Lind,Williamstown soda,Bridgeton flask,Coffin&Hay flask,Drakes 4 log,Hunter/Fisher, Chestnut Grove and a bunch of others. I really want everything Whitney did.

I recommend buying the book - The Glass Gaffers of New Jersey...by Pepper...It is an informative book and an interesting read...better than any of the latest Stephen King carp anyways...ROFL.

Thanks Well and Whiskey, Im familiar with the site and the book. I know Im being lazy. Im gonna list my bottles below. I hope your not bored. Im afraid to sell anything until I establish their origins. Maybe someone can help with the attached. Unfortunately most are in temp storage due to the move coming. If your interested in anything not s jersey speak up. Ill be unpacking within three months. All the descriptions are from the various auction houses. Hope this isnt boring.

[trussin]

Hey guys. The document was a little better organized when I sent it. I guess roger crunches the info together somehow to save space. I am selling or trading every bottle not blown within 30 miles of Williamstown,NJ. Now you can see why I am after the info. I am aware of ; Wistar,Fislerville,Winslow,All The Stangers, Coffin & Hay,Bridgeton,Whitney,Bodine Bros.,Vineland and others. I sell every five years or so. None of the bottles are dug and most importantly if you see something thats not S Jersey I would rather trade for something that is.
