Found this guy the other day while digging through a local bottle dump of mine in search of goodies! I’m just in awe of the decor in even the simplest of household items. This was likely used to control the dimness of light within a household during the late 1800s - early 1910s. Found in Saratoga Springs NY!
Not at all what I was hoping to find, but it seems to date between 1933 and 1936 so that’s something I suppose
Found in a stream in Ballston Spa NY, not too sure if it’s 19th century or earlier?
Hoping for vintage of course but I felt like I should check here in case. I’d consider vintage anywhere before 1930. Found in Schuylerville!
I’m getting mixed results from my personal research. Some say as late as 1880s-90s and others are saying early as 1840s. The tiny “DUPRE.” Is what’s tripping me up. Found in Saratoga Springs NY
Need some help pinpointing this inscription guys! I believe the partial inscription either reads “HU”, “HUS”, “HUSH”, “HUST”, or some other variation. It looks like this fragment has four rows of bristle holes, while the other found in the same hole has five. I’ve also included pictures of a complete “Extra-Fine Paris” toothbrush I dug nearby. Any help is greatly appreciated!
My research dates this to be from about 1909-1918 (1909 was when the manufacturer switched to screw top, 1918 was when they added “Trade Marked” above “Vaseline”)
The base is also marked with a “189” that’s not pictured
Found this guy a lil while ago and posted it originally for info, but I’ve since found out it’s likely an “Our Mother of Sorrows” rosary medallion. I believe the inscription reads “Mater Dolorosa, Ora Pro Nobis”, which translates to “Sorrowful Mother, pray for us”. Beneath the inscription is the Mother Mary with a heart surrounded by seven swords. On the reverse is a Cross on mound with two characters kneeling nearby. This pendant dates roughly to the 1880s-1910s
All I can find on it is a Whitehall Tatum Co one with the same patent date, but this one says H C Co, not W T Co. any help is appreciated!
I’ve had this guy for two years and so far nothing, please let this be it!! If it isn’t, then what is going on exactly??
Found this guy digging in Saratoga Springs, when I search it up I can’t find any exact matches? The bottom is embossed with the writing “Abbot’s Laboratories Made in USA”
Found in Saratoga Springs!
