I bought a purple J.J. Heinrich & Co bottle recently at a yard sale and someone told me later that the purple is probably not the original color for this bottle. Is that true?

I'd like to go on a dig for old times sake with Ed Provine, but it's hard to get there with my job and being in Warner Robins, Georgia.

Hi. I have potentially hundreds of bottles being uncovered in the next couple months. I need expertise on handling, storing, displaying and cleaning. Can you contact me to discuss?

I've got a full size whiskey jug with the same scratching as the mini J.J Crusman one you have listed. Any idea of the value?

I found a small jug in an old outbuilding on my farm. It is in very good condition and reads 5Lb. Mercury Spurlock-Neal Co. (but no Nashville Tenn. inscription). What did they use mercury for? Thanks.

Nice. My guess would be about $250.-$3.50.

I was living in Memphis between 1980-1983. I dug on the Memphis and West Memphis sides of the Mississippi River. The river dropped to a record low and we were able to remove cobblestones on the Beale street end of the river. I found several items, and still have some of the items. I would like to know the value of these bottles. I have a cathedral bottle with 6 windows, and a pepper sauce bottle with 20 rings. Can you help me? I would be more than happy to send a photo of the bottles. Thanks!
