Collecting Old Jars and Bottles Part 2

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.

Collecting Old Bottles And Jars

One of my newest projects, is collecting old bottles!  I love this!  I never know where I am going to find them.
  I found some a few weeks ago in an opening along the edge of an old logging road.  They were canning jars dating around 1970.  One was a star jar and the other was a 2 Quart Jar.
Then, while driving out an old dirt road I found an old 1/2 gallon jar with etched flowers all along the top.  It looked like maybe an old juice jar. I have no idea what the age of this one was.  It was just laying on a stump along the edge of the woods.
Old foundations are another great place to look for bottles and jars.  I found an old juice jar and Pepsi bottle in an old foundation last week.  Then I went out back and found where the people used to bury their trash.  That is always a great find on an old property.  Because, they never had dumps, they had their own dump on their land.  Anyhow, I found an old glass octagon jar I have no idea how old.  I am guessing it was a pill jar.  An old whiskey bottle around the same age.  A ginger ale bottle 1 quart around 1970.  A soda bottle that is Christmas green and rough textured about 1940. 
My husband has found some other bottles while doing ground work on our land.  He found an old peroxide bottle that took a cork, an old 1940 Christmas green jar, and a tiny cork bottle that is really old.
My husband also found for me while hunting last fall some old bottles from the 1800's or maybe earlier.  Check out the picture of those on this T-shirt!
