That is some beautiful glass knapping longneck! Thanks for sharing, Kelley
Now I am going to start leaving arrow heads all over the forest floors to keep the newbees guessing
ORIGINAL: Picklejar
I have a bunch of slag glass and shards from the Dyottsville factory site in Kensington. Dug from a layer about 3.5 to 4 feet below surface, I also found glass and pearl buttons, an intact 1/2 pint strapped whiskey flask (clear, not embossed) and some nice english glass shards (Kilner Bros. Glass Co.) The Dyottsville specific stuff is really cool, a blob of porter bottle green, a perfect drop of light blue glass, some pieces of the "philda" embossing, deformed waste portions that were embossed but discarded. This historic "junk" is a nice companion collection to the beautiful bottles produced at this important early american glassworks/social experiment. This whole area is under rapid development and soon digging, let alone any type of access, to the dyottsville site will be barred. Right now its an empty dirt field butting up to the river where people atv. More to come, some photos perhaps. Longtime collector, first time getting around to joining this awesome site!
