I think your marble is a (German) Bennington - 1860ish.

BEAUTIES!! I love bottle hunting so I can respect how much digging goes into it....much more than surface metal detecting (which I obviously love too) You have some NICE embossing going on there. That is a beautiful Hall's Cure ....shoot, that is a really great day!!!

Well i dug out my book. It's Kovels 11th edition 1999 Three rivers press. It lists [Robert Portner Brewing Company Alexandria Va Olive green blob top 1880-1895 10 inch $165 ] man my memory is shot thought the book was from the 80s. That's the last bottle book i bought guess it was ten years ago.

Nice to see some great dug bottles.

We don't have those available to dig this far south in Florida. I used to be able to pic up old bottles on the bottom of the ocean, but they are pretty much all gone.

I dug bottles in an old Iowa dump several years back and had an absolute blast doing it and came home with a couple boxes stuffed with old bottles and ink wells. I could have stayed for days playing in the dirt. You just never know what you are going to find and if it's broken or not usually until you get it out of the ground.

It's really fun and exciting and I really envy you guys up north who have this stuff available to hunt for, that is until winter rolls around.

Blob top would make a big difference, that is for sure!

Cool!!
