I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN A SMALL TOWN IN THE ADIRONDACKS IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. I STARTED DIGGING BOTTLES WHEN I WAS 12 YRS OLD MY STEPFATHER GARY GOT ME HOOKED ON THEM. US LOCAL KIDS USED TO DIG AND SELL THEM TO A GUY WHO TOOK THEM TO FLEA MARKETS.I REMEMBER SOME OF THE STUFF WE USED TO DIG AND RECALL ONE DUMP THAT PRODUCED 16 BUFFALO LITHIA WATERS. I SOLD THEM FOR 6.00 EACH,AND WAS OK WITH THAT (AT 12).THE ONE I DO WISH I STILL HAD WAS THE COLOR OF GASOLINE AND I GOT 25.00 FOR THAT ONE,PROBABLY WORTH MUCH MORE TODAY. NEVER REALLY STOPPED SINCE THEN AS FAR AS COLLECTING,THEN ABOUT 9 YEARS AGO OR SO I FELL INTO A DEAL WITH A LONG TIME DEALER IN BOTTLES AND ALL ANTIQUES. I STRUCK A DEAL AND FOR BOXING UP 3 FULL STORIES OF ANTIQUES I GOT TO KEEP ALL THE BOTTLES AND STONEWARE.(65 PIECES) AND 6500 BOTTLES....I PULLED SOME GREAT STUFF OUT OF THE BUNCH AND REMEMBER HAVING CASES ALL OVER THE PLACE,6500 BOTTLES TAKES UP ALOT OF ROOM.ONE MORNING WENT OUT TO THE BOXES PILED IN YARD AND PULLED OUT A BINNEGERS CANNON AND A GW HOXIE THAT WAS THE FINEST IVE EVER SEEN,ALSO LOG CABIN BITTERS AND TONS OF BLOBS AND HUTCHS AND PANEL MEDICINES.I DECIDED TO START KEEPING POISONS AND ALOT OF THE STONE WARE AND TRADED/SOLD THE REST.I NOW HAVE A DEDICATED ROOM FOR MY OLD ADVERTISING AND BOTTLES I ALSO LIKE INKS AND BLOBS.WHISKEYS ARE ALSO SOMETHING I HAVE SOME OF, I REACHED 250 ENGLISH AND U.S. POISONS {INCLUDING 17 W.T.CO. LATTICES} AND THEN DECIDED TO MOVE INTO INKS LOCAL MEDICINES ECT. & BLOBS. I TRADED ALOT OF THE POISONS AND SOLD SOME TO ADD TO MY BLOBS. I NOW HAVE WELL OVER 350 BLOBS AND AM GETTING MORE ALL THE TIME. OVER THE YEARS I’VE BEEN IN ON SOME MASSIVE DIGS,COVERING HUGE AREAS AND DIGGING DOWN UP TO 18 FEET AND BROUGHT SOME GREAT STUFF HOME. SOME OF THE PEOPLE I DIG WITH HAVE GOTTEN GREAT STUFF AS WELL AND IT’S ALWAYS A TREASURE HUNT FOR ME. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT ONE COME OUT AND GET IT CLEANED UP,NOT ALWAYS WHOLE......BUT I NEVER SEEM TO GROW TIRED OF TRYING THAT NEXT DUMP.I SEARCH AUCTIONS,SALES,INTERNET AS WELL FOR NEW ADDITIONS AND HAVE OVER THE YEARS GOT SOME REAL NICE STUFF, EITHER FOR MY COLLECTION OR TO TRADE/SELL FOR A DIFFERENT PIECE FOR MY COLLECTION. THERE ARE FOR NEW COLLECTORS A LOT OF PLACES TO GET A COLLECTION GOING,YARD SALES,ANTIQUE SHOPS AND DIGGING.AS YOUR COLLECTION PROGRESSES AUCTIONS CARRY THE MID TO BETTER RANGE GLASS AND OF COURSE THERE I S ONLINE AUCTIONS,WHERE YOU CAN GET ABOUT ANYTHING. BOTTLE SHOWS ARE STILL ONE OF THE MOST INEXPENSIVE PLACES TO GET A NEW ADDITION AND YOU GET TO CHECK IT OUT IN PERSON,WHICH TO ME IS A HUGE PLUS. BARTERING AND PARTIAL TRADES ARE ALSO A POSSIBILITY AT SHOWS,UNLIKE AUCTIONS ECT. THE KEY HERE IS RESEARCH IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT,THERE ARE REPRODUCTION /DECORATIVE BOTTLES OUT THERE THAT ARE VERY EASY TO MISTAKE EVEN WHEN A SEASONED COLLECTOR. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REPRODUCTION AND WHAT I CLASSIFY AS DECORATIVE IS A REPRODUCTION IS A COPY/FACSIMILE OF AN ACTUAL OLD BOTTLE. A DECORATIVE IS LIKE THE WHEATON COFFINS,THEY WERE NEVER PRODUCED TO ACTUALLY BE USED,STRICTLY DECORATIVE. THERE ARE GREAT RESOURCES OUT THERE FOR BOTTLE COLLECTORS IF YOU SEARCH THEM OUT.SOME ARE OUTDATED BUT GREAT FOR REFERENCE AND IF YOU USE MANY SOURCES YOU CAN COME TO YOUR OWN DECISION. AUCTION HOUSES, EBAY, LIBRARIES, TOWN HALLS AND OTHERS ARE GREAT PLACES TO FIND INFORMATION. LOCAL AUCTIONS AND SALES ARE GOOD PLACES TO FIND AN ADDITION,. I HAVE A FAIRLY LARGE LIBRARY OF COLLECTABLES BOOKS, AND MY E~LIBRARY SO FEEL FREE TO ASK, I WILL BE GLAD TO HELP RESEARCH YOUR LATEST FIND.THE BOTTOM LINE IS ADDING TO YOUR COLLECTION THE BEST EXAMPLE YOU CAN AFFORD TO GET. I TRY TO POST SOME OF THE STUFF DIGGERS & COLLECTORS NEWER TO THIS GREAT HOBBY WILL FIND. SITES WITH 5,000 DOLLAR BOTTLES ARE GREAT TO LOOK AT TOO, BUT NOT MANY OF US ARE GOING TO DIG OR FIND SOMETHING OF THAT CALIBER . I TRY AND ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS MOST TIMES WITHIN 48 HOURS AND ENJOY HELPING OUT IN THE RESEARCH. GOOD LUCK THANKS FOR STOPPING AND BE SURE TO STOP BACK OFTEN AS I WILL BE CHANGING AND ADDING ON A REGULAR BASIS AS MY COLLECTION PROGRESSES & CHANGES.THE MAJORITY OF MY INK COLLECTION CAME FROM MY FATHER GARY.I REALLY ENJOY MY SITE ALOT AND ALWAYS WANT IT BETTER!! ENJOY!! EVERYTHING ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES PLUS SOME IS IN MY BOTTLEROOM , I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A DESIGNATED BOTTLEROOM. I HAVE AROUND 55 INKS YET TO GET ON HERE AS WELL AS THE 150 + BLOBS ECT. SO CHECK BACK OFTEN.

THE BOTTLE THAT GOT ME HOOKED ~ CROWN PERFUME CO. MY FIRST BOTTLE I DUG IN RAQUETTE LAKE THAT REALLY HOOKED ME WAS A CROWN PERFUME WITH THE CROWN SHAPED STOPPER IN TACT, I WAS 12...I STILL HAVE IT. CROWN PERFUMERY COMPANY ~ LONDON Crown had it’s origins in corset making - In 1840, American, William Sparks Thomson opened his corset business at 40 The Strand, London. He created high busted corsets to "assist the lady whom nature had not endowed with ample fullness". One of Thomson’s clients was Queen Victoria - and the Crown was adopted as his trademark. Now, sometimes Thomson’s clients would faint due to the tightness of his corsets - and this, in a way, led to the creation of the Crown Perfumery. Thomson’s son William Thomson Jr, was a brilliant chemist, and came up with the idea of producing a lavender based smelling-salt to revive these fainting ladies. One...
