Your oldest bottles

[earlyglass]

Steve,

We have disagreed on many things, but I will say that your answer to this question was very close to my thoughts on them. Lucky for you most of it was from your area!

The cylinder on the right is almost certainly from the Hartford area.

Although I believed the ribbed piece to be Clementon as well, there is a chance it could be even earlier.

I believed the chestnut to also be Wistar, although I cannot say with certainty.

If they could all be as easy as the diamond daisy!

Hi Mike that was fun,We should do this more often.I know you always liked this one from my collection.A clock face Southern New jersey in a deeper emerald green color Pitkin. I got this from a long time collector in New Jersey.This bottle has pretty solid evidence as to being attributable to the Gloucester Glass Works in Clementon. I have written about this bottle at the forum here before. Hey!! in another matter, I could use your help here at this site scroll down to http://njbottles.com/ NJB SPECIAL CATEGORY'S then go here http://njbottles.com/index.php?board=121.0 There is nothing there yet but I would enjoy filling it up with Information. Please consider the invite your knowledge is well respected by me and all of the collectors of early American glass. I would like to create a huge database here with all of the Early glass from The New England and New York State areas, I stress early!! If you wouldnt mind could you and maybe Jeff and the other New England collectors here at this forum consider this and post your historical flasks,tableware,and any other glass you still own or may have owned and sold and a little history behind them in print.Take a look around the rest of the site, I did a nice extensive post on the early Maryland glass works near Guntherhess.Did you know the Etna works North of Frederick were founded in Maryland just after Wistars works here in New Jersey and were actually around a few years longer.My wife who is a Vice President at a local community college here in New Jersey was able to secure me access to databases in a lot of different Universities affiliated with her college.I am trying to research all of the colonial works known in the Colonies.Later Steve

The earliest Hawaii bottle that I dug would be this 1870 applied blob top soda with a round base.

Steve -, you always fascinate me with your ability to put things together regarding early glass, with a school teachers objective plan. I have saved a lot of your work-ups and do not want to miss such great information. So keep me in mind as you put them together. RED Matthews

These are probably the three oldest I own. The dutch onion has got to be the oldest with the demi and gin fighting for second.

Gary,

Do you anything else in the kitchen besides bottles? LOL Nice Photo.

This is a great thread with many nice pics. Please keep them coming.

Does it count if it's broken? Found a couple of these shattered late 1600's/early 1700's pancake onions ib the oldest pit I ever dug - nothing whole in that one.
