Paw Paw and I went pickin' in an old falling down home that belongs to my Maw Maw's best friend. She told us we could have anything that was in the home. There is ALOT of junk everywhere, the floors rotting out and it's pretty much falling down. There were also a few old sewing machines and an old piano! I was mostly lookin for old bottles. I know alot of these aren't old but they are neat, and pretty. The perfume bottles are Avon. The glass door knobs were on the home as well. Also managed to find some old marbles...(Atleast I think they're old, Paw Paw said they were)....Enjoy!

yeh the big mouth green bottles are from Mickeys Big Mouth beer not sure the name but was some great beer back in the day early 80's Nice finds also HH keep up the great finds :icon_thumright:
 

slabman is right ,, that cool looking purple doorknob was probably clear when it was made, but turned purple over many decades of exposure to sunlight due to something called manganese which was added to the glass in the late 1800s-- early 1900s .
