how old is this silver spoon? It's my 4th one now from this hole they all match... And is this champion sparkplug made in Canada early 1900s? Also was surprised the short baby food size jar was "Ball" brand that's first one of those. The curvy one with metal lid I've found many times must be a common one... Also I wonder what was inside the brownish colored one... Pretty sure inside contamination effecting color...

Neat bottles!
I believe the spoon is silver plated.

Aww man :/ you have this brand? From what I can tell it's one of the first brand names in a chain of names over the years. And it's pre 1930. It's none magnetic, silver value isn't that high anyways but silver plated is valueless... If it's newer the 1930 then not being 100+ years old is a bummer.

Did ya digg it? I wonder about bottles that have no markings or break-off at base, previously I thought old bottles would all have markings there... But this is one of my older finds lately... Also this bottle makes me thirsty for a nice big cold beer myself!

The spark plug doesn't look all that old. Probably not earlier than the 1950's. Real early plugs have smooth sides, not ridges.

Cool finds. The spoon is Watchung Silver Company's 'cat-tail' pattern and circa 1890. It was made in silverplate.

Hey 1800s club makes me happy. Plated is worse then not. Thanks for dating it for me!
