I unearthed this nice bottle at my mine.
Not sure of the age or if it has any value but it's in excellent condition and I have a place for it. I cleaned it carefully and well using techniques that I researched online. If anyone knows old bottles... I'd appreciate any insight as to what it is. Looks like a soda bottle. The glass is relatively thick and has a nice light lavender or amethyst coloration to it. The lettering "Kuner" is raised and beveled. Here are a couple pics. -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Hello Rockytop,
I think Swizz started a pretty cool thread and I was sure hopping someone with knowledge would offer some insight. I would like to pick your brain some time about some bottles I have collected through the years. With me you never know where I might pop up. I've walked the banks of the Mississippi after a flood, poked around old farm dwellings in Kansas, and even explored some old foundations in Georgia along the cost that was only accessible during low-tide. I have researched some of my finds on line and have come to realize there are certain characteristics that a person should look for while bottle hunting. #1, Glued in bottom or sides, #2, a cork stopper, and #3, most old time glass has many imperfections like bubbles in it. How am I doing so far? I have a few that match those descriptions. I think most are what I call the common, "Snake Bite" remedies that were sold by traveling salesman. I'll make the promise of posting up some pictures some day and you can tell me what you think. Have a good one, Woody. Here is an old foundation site in the marshlands of Georgia. There were lots of bottles and all had the bottoms glued in. -------------------- Proud CP Lifetime Member
