    First Privy Dig

    Hello, all! It's been a long while since I last posted and an even longer while since I've actually looked for bottles because I've been getting into traditional woodworking. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here to show the bottle I just found. But first, some context. I've posted before about...

    Local 60s medicines

    Been a while since I've been on here because I've been preoccupied with a new hobby of mine: traditional woodworking. But I was looking for a couple of things at a local antique store and saw these for $5.50 a piece. I haven't seen many paper label bottles from Greeneville from this era, but...

    Can cleaning questions

    I tried soaking a can in lemon juice to clean it. I couldn't read anything on it (but on top it said Pabst so I knew what it would look like). I soaked it for I think 2 days. (This was a while ago so I'm not entirely sure of the amount of time I soaked it for). At first it was going great. When...

    7 foot cross blade saw

    I was looking through one of the first spots I've ever found after school today. There's not really a big pile of stuff, just some metal junk scattered in the woods behind a barn. I've found a couple clorox bottles and a ghosted acl RC Cola before. But today I decided to tromp around some before...

    Coke plant starting dates

    While researching a bottle my uncle had given me, I discovered this website that lists the dates coke plants in the United States began. https://www.earlycoke.com/bottling-plant-dates

    Value questions on a large lot of bottles

    So I recently bought 16 bottles of of ebay. They were in the seperate groups of 5 or 6. I have some questions on their value though. First up, Pilsener's Product from Cleveland, Ohio (I don't think this one is worth that much monetarily although it looks pretty in the window.) Crown Bottling...

    Hawley Glass Company?

    The bottom of this kick up green wine bottle has an H in a circle. I'm not entirely sure of the manufacturer but I believe that it could possibly be Hawley Glass Company. They made mostly green and amber beer and soda bottles (not sure about wine). Hemingray Glass company had an H in a circle...

    HUGE resale possibilities and some questions

    Yesterday I went to an antique store and found A LOT of cheap stuff with, I think, great resale possibility. I will definitely return at a later date. However, I do have a couple questions. First up, JT Baker Chem co. The company was founded in 1904 by John Townsend Baker because he required a...

    Oil lamp cleaning questions

    I bought a Dietz Little Wizard oil lamp in hopes of restoring it. I do not plan on getting it back to working condition but just looking better. However, there are three coats of paint on it and I can't seem to get them off. I heard white vinegar would get rust off. Would it help with the paint...

    Atlas and Ball jar questions

    I bought an Atlas jar today and while researching it, realized the "ATLAS" was smaller than on some other examples. I know that its not "rare" but I was wondering if it increased the price at all. Also what would be a general age range for it. I also bought a Ball jar a couple days ago. What...

    Reselling tips and questions

    I have recently thought about beginning to reselling some bottles for some extra money. I have bought a couple and was hoping I could get a value on them. Also any tips would be appreciated. Right now I'm thinking about using ebay although I know many don't particularly like it. Would etsy be...

    Fossil??

    I know that this isn't bottle related, but I was sifting in a creek for some arrowheads (a recently discovered hobby of mine...oh no the beginnings of another addiction) and found this. It's hollow, so bird? And from what I've seen most fossils found in creeks are black. Just wondering if it was...

    New display shelf

    I installed a new shelf to display some of the more attractive/sentimental bottles. The bookcase is the rest of my collection. Sadly not enough space to display them all.

    Local Ramons box and Garret wine bottle

    I found these 2 at a local antique store. One of the people that worked there had a relative that was a doctor and found the Ramons box in his truck after he had passed. It is from Greeneville Tn. The Garret is manganese and has an early valve mark on the bottom. I was wondering its age. It has...

    New dump site

    Found these at a new dump I found about a week ago. I know they're all common. Just stuff I found interesting. Was the Handee a milk? And I think the milk glass was a perfume?

    Hunyadi Janos mineral water

    I found this for 7 bucks. The pictures do not do it justice. My camera is clearly not that nice. It has no chips, bruises, or cracks.

    Phoenix Brand Products flask

    Got this Phoenix Brand Products flask for $2. It was really nasty and had sticky stuff inside. I had to soak it for about a week in soft scrub. Washed it out and it was like an entirely new bottle. It says "Pheonix Brand Products Spices, teas, Extracts, etc. W.H. Crawford C. Baltimore" It still...
