I like watching these restoration videos while listening to an audiobook. This one is of an 1877 mechanical coin bank.

Im a reader and love reading in my spare time....I've just discovered audible books, and its doubled my reading....I can listen to a book while working, and then read one in the evening!!.....effective at doubling my learning capacity !!

Thank you! I think I like the Paul Jones Whiskey the best. I am going to have to break out my laptop for bigger pics.

Here is the oldest glass i have found... just the neck... 1500's i was told... and a rare "marble neck" rarely found...

Supposedly there was a clay marble or round rock that would be blown into the neck as it was being made... that acted like an automatic "stopper".

Well guess what... that one is the only one that has a crack.... in fact look close at picture you might see it... its a huge crack and has stayed together all this time.

The centre one is a turn mold wine bottle from the 1880-1890 era.
The lip and the bottom, shape, mirrored many that we dug from the ghost town digging and construction camp digging of the CPRail. Time period 1880-1885 construction in BC through the Rockies. Liking all of them though, brings back lots of memories.
The final estate sale had 600+bottle of this type in the root cellar. The executor of the estate got $600 for the entire lot.
Not really happy about that, but what can one do.

Happy "2" day everybody!

Good morning everyone, as always wishing you all a great day. Also note I'm jealous of the old bottles. Hard to come by in California. I've only found one bottle dump and was only 1920s-1950s. I have really been wanting to find bottle to dig up but that's proven to allude me.

 

[releventchair]

Mornin all.

Cap'n showing empty bottles.... That figures . Sigh.

Freezing rain and rain.
Of course the Dr. the post office and veterinarian need visited.
Her royal indoors won't make it up into my truck.
Not wanting to ride in her vehicle but if she wants company for moral support , I will.
No idea other than dragging it , how to get the package she is mailing into the post office. (With my truck a wheelchair is in the bed I can use.)
Ahh well.
Eventually we'll all be home and off the ice.
