Awesome dig guys!! I love your videos. That scroll flask is a heartbreaker. Haven't dug a complete one myself yet in 24 years. I have dug one of those travelers companions in Amber. Dug it in New Bern NC. Dig on brothers!!! ⛏️🕳️☠️

Easy way to recover the whiskey flask. Clean and apply clay around bottle as 2-part mold. Remove mold, put flask aside. Pare down the surface anomaly fitting the flask surface features. Kiln fire the clay. Blow glass bottle inside, pontill the base, and tool the lip - VOILA !!!

The item you referred to as a creamer is an invalid feeder🤪

Some old stuff came out of that one pit, wow. I lived in Keene, on Marlborough St while in college. Some great glass even though it was broken. Thanks for taking me along.

The frosted cosmetic lotion bottle with the Diamond I makers mark is the Illinois Glass Company Alton, IL ... before Owens-Illinois merger (1929). This bot would then be in the period of art deco (mid- - late 1920s).

Throughout my life I have fantasized about traveling back in time for a variety of reasons now that I am a bottle digger I imagine going back and finding two guys on the back of a wagon knocking the tops off soda bottles. You can use your imagination on how I would intervene

Awesome sad finds.

The piece of blue milk glass at about 46:25 is from a milk glass stein, there were many embossed designs in shades of blue, green, custard, yellow milkglass, etc and they were made by several companies including Westmoreland and Greentown, in the 1910s, 1920s and some that look similar were made later. Often the scene shows what looks like old German tavern drinking scenes, they were copied off the "look" of old German pottery steins. You can do a google keyword search and find similar ones.

You need to make friends with a local glassworker. Get them to properly heat up those cracked bottles and reweld the fracture and restore the bottle to pristine.

The Watkins bottle (by their own words) - unknown exact year, but probably by the 1920s or early 1930s have a threaded-style lip for a screw-on lid. Still digging in the 1920s-30s era bots.
-
Hard for those bottles to survive 170 years of frost cycles,better luck for the next dig.

Show us the bottles you didn’t want the homeowner to see
