Today's Bottle Finds

Greeneman215 · Apr 14, 2012

I stumbled upon a partial dump in the middle of the woods today. Had a lot of medicine beauty bottles laying on the surface. Nothing to special but it's always nice to find new places. I plan on doing a little digging next week.

The jar in the last pics is new to me. I have never seen one split like that. Anyone know what kind of jar it is? Thanks

Yep, I remember ink in bottles like that. Small part was to dip tip of pen in to fill with ink.

Thanks guys. Why didn't I think of that!

Looks to me like that glass is for taking pills...

Regarding the split bottle. It is an ink, I used ones like that in the early 60's. You would tip the bottle to fill the well at the top, stick a fountain pen in it and pull the lever to fill the pen.

Viking

How much for the pantless Viking in the background.
I know a guy in Kenosha who loves the Vikings. :laughing:

I got that Canada dry crate at a used book store. They didn't have shelves just a ton of those crates stacked up to put their books on. We got several of them when they finally got book shelves. I think they were like $3 a piece. That crate had some baby possums in it at the time of the pic.

And that viking has pants! I think it's a door stop or something. I've tried to do research on him but can't find anything. It weighs probably close to 10 lbs and is over a foot and a half tall. I got it at goodwill for a couple of bucks a looong time ago. I've got tons of crazy stuff.
Here's a better pic of him.

the ink well bottles are scheaffer skrip bottles. i have 4 still with ink and 3 are in the original box. here are pics for you. original price, just 39 cents.

some crates go for a ton of money (in the 100's). That Canada Dry averages 30-40ish. I'd go check that bookstore!!
