Charlie, that is awesome! Tell your brother( who i suspect might be santa) we all thank him for kidnapping you again and taking you out to hunt! Those are some great finds. I REALLY like that torpedo. I can't wait to see it all cleaned up. And that inkwell is great too. WOW, great dig.

[Bass]

Hey Charlie,

Please thank your brother for me, too. He can show up at my door, anytime, for a bit of digging.

I wanna see that cleaned up ink, please. Will you show up at his door with camera in hand, one of these days soon, please...

"The golden Cycle Mill located on 21st Street across from The Roundhouse and Ghost Town Museum, in Colorado Springs. This once very active mill once processed much of the ore from the Cripple Creek and Victor Mining district. Incorporated in 1885 as the Golden Cycle Mining Corporation, the mill ran consistently with the exception of a fire in 1907, but resumed operation in 1908 after being rebuilt. In 1949 the mill was shut down and later dismantled, but through its many years of operation, it treated 13,564,982 ton of gold ore from the Cripple Creek district, and 794,280 tons from other areas in Colorado. This is one “Ghost” that is gone forever, but you can still see the tall smoke stack and tailings pile from both 21st street and Highway 24 in Colorado Springs." Peachridge Glass

Charlie, that ink looks super nice. I knew it would be a beauty once it was cleaned. Do you think its a one of a kind?

Hello Charlie,

Thanks for the sparkling clean photos of the hobnail ink. That is a gorgeous hunk-o-glass! I bet you could have some great macro-photography fun with that guy.

I also gotta say that that Ed. Pinaud is one of the fancier ones that I have seen. I wonder if it cleaned up as well...
Ed & I like em.

[PikesPeakCharlie]

Bass ,I really can't say if it is a one of a kind,but I doubt it, I have never seen one before but have seen a small vase,,and then the photos of the glass and candy dish that surf posted

 

[PikesPeakCharlie]

Surf ,it cleaned up fairly well ,it has staining and ground wear , it has the heaviest embossing on the crown that i've seen before,its missing its ground stopper as well, my better half sure did like it and has already found a spot on "her" shelf

my better half sure did like it and has already found a spot on "her" shelf

Hey Charlie,

I sure can identify with that phenomenon.

It doesn't happen often around here, but when it does, it's always a unique find.

This is the last one I "lost."

Good luck on your coming digz!

 

[deershed]

Wow,Great finds!!

I wish I could find just a couple of those bottles by the end of the year.

Great dig! Glad you post your finds. Working it here in Denver, but never as good as you do. Cindy
