First Random Bottle Dump Finds 2010

[Mr Ripley]

January 18th in mid-western Pa and temps in the high 40s? Of course I will dig!!

Todays oddball finds (can't seem to find any good bottles in this dump) were:

1 marble, a 1930 wheatie, one drawer knob, two door knobs (one porcelain and one very ornate metal), a Worlds Fair thingy (see What is it board), a heavy metal tray, a hookless fishing lure, a disgusted looking man shaped mustard jar and an old car candy container with zero damage.

Sometimes I don't even know why I drag all of this crazy stuff home...I am hopeless

Thanks for looking,

Mr R

We drag it because that is who we are. Neat finds.

That jadeite lid in the upper left hand corner is worth a little bit, is it chipped or cracked?

Didn't think it was till I cleaned it, but i found a glancing chip on top. I have found other jadite and delphite pieces down there in the past. I think the glass car candy dispenser worth the most in this group since the jadite is chipped.

Mr. Ripley, neat stuff ya got there. You got me thinkin' 'bout my newer dumps, which I tend to avoid if I've got an older dump workin'. That candy bottle is a really nice piece. Many times nice older stuff pops out of the newer dumps. Just a matter of time......

I would have to agree with you on that gleaner. A few hunts ago in this dump I pulled out an aqua Dr Jones Liniment (beaver embossed) without a neck. That was the only BIMAL bottle I have pulled out of this dump, but that proves that it is possible.

One thing is for sure, I think with that one bottle you discovered the true Identity of Mrs. Butterworth's husband.

nice finds. My candy car, a different model, had a chipped back tire, but yours is perfect. These don't have words on them but I believe they were made by Victory Glass.

Nice dump finds! I need to find an old dump here in Germany. HH, Mike

Naturally, I like the little blue bottle, and I think you've discovered Mean Mr. Mustard!

I don't know about that crusty silverware but I like the fishing lure!
