This is a dumb question, but, how do you know where to dig??? how do you know where these bottles might be??

Unfortunately this is top secret ! If I told you , I might have to kill you. Just kidding. We take a 6 foot probe rod and go to the old parts of town and hunt high and low for cistern , privies and dumps. Its not an easy process. Thats about all there is to it !

found a large lewis&lewis embalming fluid bottle while digging a cistern in knoxville tn its got a blob type top holds a gallon is this rare?????

Hi. Sounds like a nice bottle ! I'm not sure what the value of that bottle would be. Your best bet would be to ask one of the local bottle collectors in the area. Thanks

I think I have a 1912 coca cola bottle from memphis, TN. It looks like the one on your website. It is not in great shape. Are these bottles worth anything or would you be interested in it?

A good shape Memphis Amber Coke in general usually goes for around $60. Sorry not interested.

I have a mini jug approximately 2.75 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide that is white on the bottom and blue on the top with Camp Forrest Tullahoma, TN written in blue just below the waist. Do you know any history on this or similar jugs such as manufacturer, year made, where sold, purpose, etc. Thanks!

hello-
I recently found a Spurlock Neal Drug Co 1 lb Mercury mini jug. However the size was 2.75". The one listed on your site is 3.25". Did the jug come in a smaller size? Thanks

I saw someone in this group has a small jug, with my husbands Great grandfathers name on it. NS Walker Warner tn. He ran a general store there before moving to Jordonia(Nashville) after his wife died. Is it for sale or can I get a photo of it? Thanks, Lisa

PLEASE if anybody knows how to delete my profile please let me know. I am getting crap emails from some idiot in a foreign country. Obviously it is spam. It is a shame that no one can join a site without somebody spamming them. The idiot just joined 1 hour ago oumar_precious@yahoo.com.
