Today was a good day for a swim...

This is the stamp on that ink; any idea what the bottom line is? The top says Enterprise Pottery Co., but I can't read the bottom.

This gives a better idea of the color of the Bigelow. Tell him: greenish aqua, maybe $120, on a good day! []

Regarding the sh!tloads of people that have contacted me privately about diving in Springfield: I will get in touch. I do this for a living though and this is my busiest time of year, so don't take it personally if it's a while before you hear from me. It may seem like we're just bottle diving for fun but that's really just a side benefit and I can't bring people who aren't on the payroll out on these things for insurance reasons.

Weekends and off days are another story though, and I will try to contact the (surprising) number of people who want to get out and do some river dives.

PS: if you know about old mugs do me a favor and check the post I'm about to throw up in "what is it?"

He Sean, Just send me an arm load of bottles and I won't bug you about a dive. [sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif] O sh$t...Cindy was behind me and you don't want to send me anything...[sm=lol.gif] She says don't make her have to come up there. She can't take a joke. Wonder what she will say when a package from another diver on the forum arrives. [&:]

Great finds and I know it has to be much cooler in the water than it has been on land.

Here's a bigger view in case some of you have better eyes than me. It's weird, one of the other bottles we found on the boat dive was a small stone ginger beer marked A. something, and I couldn't read the name stamp to save my life. This morning when I looked it was clear as day: A. Brooks! I guess it was the lighting.

I'm still trying to figure this one out. I'm thinking it's not the Enterprise Pottery Co in New Jersey.
So far, all I found is this, which isn't too helpful in trying to figure out the Pottery Co, but it's interesting nontheless.

There was indeed an Enterprise Pottery Co in Trenton NJ, according to this link: http://trentonhistory.org/Made/Marks.html

THE ENTERPRISE POTTERY CO., TRENTON, N. J.

The Enterprise Pottery was started previous to 1880, for the manufacture of sanitary ware. The mark in use from the beginning until 1892 was the name of the company (see also The Trenton Potteries Co.). Gen. Oliphant, who with three of his sons afterwards operated the Delaware Pottery, was connected with the Enterprise Pottery previous to 1884.
