Bottle Dump gives up some Goodies

[goldnow]

The other day I found a glass pit in the bushes and at the bottom of a small ravine. They must have thrown their unwanted glass down from the cliff. Glass scares me a bit, after some unwanted experiences, so went and bought some heavy leather work gloves for this project today. The earliest broken top looked like 1700's. It was hand blown, black glass, wine bottle, and with a ribbon of glass around its lip. Most of it was just bits and pieces, but managed to pull out a few complete keepers, though some have hairlines and chips. The three larger ones I have no idea how they survived the 20 foot drop.. Nothing in good displayable condition looks much older than 100 years though.


Tallest one says (3 sides); "SCOTT'S EMULSION...WITHLIME & SODA...COD LIVER OIL
2nd Tallest;...."FELLOWS & C - CHEMISTS - St JOHN NB
3rd tallest;... has a million sharpish ridges, so I'm thinking maybe a poison bottle

An eye wash cup
And an incredible green cut glass perfume bottle
A cobalt blue art-deco perfume bottle
Then there is a real cute small dark green ink bottle that says,.."ATRON"

This my first time in a glass dump, so feel I did good for a nice variety, anyway.

The reason I decided to do the glass dump today was the piece of land I went to first to MD turned out to be someone practice shooting range, and after 15 straight cartridges, I took the hint.

Nice bottles. Oscar read your post with me, but jumped off my lap at the "not so cute" line....

Sorry, Daria was sitting next to me, and had just stolen the cat's food, so I wanted to insult her a little. You know I didn't mean it.

Great finds! I like the small yellow one.
