 Pinkish Puce Boyd - Balt. Torpedo Soda Circa 1845  Ginger Ale, Gasoline Gardner - & Brown Torpedo Soda Circa 1846
I'm Chris Rowell and I live in Baltimore Maryland. I collect
Pontiled And Early Smooth Base Baltimore Mineral Waters, Sodas, Beers,
Early Pottery Bottles, Pontiled And Early Smooth Based Baltimore
Medicines, And Other High Quality Baltimore Bottles That I like. With
my favorite type of bottles being the early colored torpedoes and ten
pins from Baltimore. I also have an interest in early ceramics primarily redware and stoneware produced in Baltimore. I will try to showcase as
much of my collection as possible on this site. I am also putting
together a guide to early ceramics commonly found during privy digs.
These ceramics are a very good tool for dating the context of the privy
you are digging. And Show how many ceramic vessel's can be
reconstructed from the shards found during privy digs. Also I will tell
you about my many interesting Bottle Digging Experiences. I have dug
over 1500 privies from Alexandria Virginia to New York and most major
cities and towns in between. And I will try to offer help to other
collectors by answering questions about bottle digging. Plus I will
appraise any Baltimore bottles that other collectors have found. I have
been collecting antique bottles for over 14 years now. And have been a
hard core privy digger for the past 8 years. I dig at least one day
every week and often more then once depending on availability of a good
site and free time. I have dug some privies (outhouses) as old as the 1740`s. Also feel free to Sign my guest book your comments are always
welcome. And If you live in a pre 1870 house in Baltimore City or any
of the surrounding counties and would like to have any Privies, Wells,
and Cisterns on your property located and excavated just e-mail me.

find the piece that you are looking for. |
