3 hoir hunt yields bottles, knife, crest, and more!

[armyboy20081230]

Went out on a hunt today. 3 hours proved fairly bountiful. Sever glass and clay bottles, a bone handled pocket knife, a possible bristish crest( I.d. Please), half a buckle, and more. One of the bottles actually had "federal law prohibits sale or reuse of this bottle" on it. It was made in the u.k. Pretty neat. Had a blast! Any info on the bottles or crest would be awesome!

Hello army,

Welcome to Tnet, and thanks for the photos of the goodies. That "Federal Law..." language was mandated on spirits bottles post Prohibition to 1964ish. It looks like you've got a 50+ year age range on the bottles.

I always like to see those tan & cream stoneware beers. That I.L. Lyons is a nice piece of Nawlins history: Visitor's guide to New Orleans. November, 1875...

What is the embossing on the amber flask?

I think the transferware makers mark may be a Henry Alcock:
