Latest Finds: 1851 seated dime, 83 & 88 IH, 3 mercs, 51 rosy, 01 V nickel,wheats

I finally found some keepers last week, I found the seated dime and IHs together with whats left of a pen knife close by that says "scout" on it. The mercury dimes are 1917, 40 & 41. I looked for the 8 over 7 on the 1888 IH (still looking), The Winchester shot gun shell is all brass.
The 3 bottles on the left I found in various locations, same shape / different sizes. I don't think the vase is that old it has etching on it (?), i thought it was amazing that it was not broken, it was found on a river bank, all the other ones where found in the woods. Only the far right bottle has a marking, it has 206 on the bottom. Thanks for looking.

That is a heck of a collection Tom! Is that a vase or a decanter? I have one I bought in Venice that looks a lot like it!

Thanks for all the replies. It was nice to find something for a change ! Here's a closer pic of the vase/decanter ? It's about 9" tall with about a 5 1/2 diameter.

Probably a vase at 9" X 5.5" Most decanter can hold a specific measurement of wine, liqueur, etc. I guess it could be a small decanter for a bottle of port, usually sold in half bottles. This is what makes me think it still may be a decanter...


It looks like it has a widened neck for the glass stopper...
Here is my whiskey decanter (I think my wine decanter is still packed)...

and the stopper...

I don't know...I would try pouring different English and metric measurements of water into it to see which fills it to a level that appears to be correct (probably above the flower/below the widened neck...just a thought!

Great collection of finds

Decanters are typically ground inside where the stopper fits, as is the stopper, for a better seal. I'd say it's a vase if it's not ground inside where the stopper rests, although it's definitely shaped more like a decanter.

Thanks for your replies and comments guys, the seated definitely made my day, and thanks for your input on the glass Tom and Brian. I posted the glass pics on the Bottles/Glass forum to see if I can get some more info on them.
