Today, I found the honey hole of old glass. In just about 30 minutes I came home with 10 old bottles and jars. These ranged in age from 1933-1955. I found brown glass, and clear glass. They all look so interesting. I also found an old glass insulator for an eclectic line. It is so neat! The color is emerald green. I wasn't sure what it was, I had to have my husband tell me.
If you are interested in collecting old glass, then get out in the woods and see what you can find. Where I found the stuff today, was a place where someone must have had an old camp in the woods and this was a hole where they had buried all of their trash. I dug up a lot of old tin cans before I got to the good stuff.
The fun part about finding this stuff is, there is always a history lesson behind it, and it is a treasure hunt. Lets face it, no matter how old we are, we love treasure hunts.
Although I think old glass is about the best thing there is. And, I would love to receive some as a gift, not all mothers feel this way! Don't forget to get your mother something she would enjoy this Mother's day.
