Looks like a great haul! I especially like the 2nd one in from the left (is that the one you called a slick blob with stopper?) - so no markings at all - even on the bottom? ...very cool!

Are you going out next weekend too? Keep us up on your finds!

The bottom says: MADE BY JOHN MATTHEWS NY PAT JUNE 11 1872

MADE BY is backwards and here is a close up of the top. Anybody know what to call this style?

Is that an actual stopper...or just a double top?

 

[ancientdigger69]

Sorry, its a double top. The bottom one kinda swirls from smaller to larger.

Great Weber bottle! Looks like a solid old applied top.

That singer looks familiar, did you happen meet up with Frank?

Plummy, yeah saw frank. the weber was 20 and the singer was 20. couldnt pass em up. i asked about his other peoria stuff and he hasnt had his friend look at it yet. i told him what we r doing with the book and gave him my card to call me. if i happen to get to the leftovers before you, i wont hog em all. i'll pick up everything i can and me n u can split em up when u get a chance to come up from school. i know you need some for your collection. just pay me what i spent on em or we can work out a trade. either way, i'll be sure to share with ya. you know that.

the weber has been repaired but still a tough bottle and made by the DeSteger Glass Co up in Lasalle Peru.

the blob top has been glued back on. a professional fix and you will never notice it. not minning any chunks or pieces.
