Saturday went hunting with Michaelangelo on a beautiful day  The old farm house has produced some interesting finds and on this hunt I found a bottle. I don't find many bottles so thought I would share this one: Lydia E. Pinkham's Medicine (Owens Glass). Thanks for looking  |

Thanks all the comments. The reign guide was my first I think the bottle is from 1933. It's machine made and has the suction scar at the buttom. |

IronSpike, buddy I like that old house as it reminds me of my Great grand Dads place he live in before he passed in the early 90's at 96yrs old.I also like bottles and once had over a 1000 that I had dug cause that was what I liked before getting in to MD'ing. But got dumb a few years back screwed all up and all and sold them there was all kinds some were very rare.Anyway bottom line I was purdy much robbed and very much regret my actions back then.But have started building up again but has sure gotten harder to find as time has past although I don't really put time in on tring to find them but there not so easy.Anyway one thing I'd do was in the winter go under these houses like this looking cause it was a good place for one.Anyway good deal on the FINDs buddy.I'll add some sites that I used to help me with bottles. Luck to you in the future, Tk!  http://www.angelfire.com/tn/traderz/marks.htmlhttp://www.angelfire.com/pop2/collectorscorner/USA_bottle_marks.htmlhttp://www.myinsulators.com/glass-factories/bottlemarks2.html |

Thanks your tip to look under the house  I'll bring a flash light next time. With the metal detecting sites you got going I can see why you don't have time to bottle hunt  Sorry to hear about your deal on the old collection, however glad you've started a new. I bet you already got some awesome bottles in your collection. |
