    I have alot of dug up bottle's,insulator's, medicines's,inks,household,whiskey,pontil variety,fruit jars, glass car parts, and more. I am learning the bottle photography. Photo's of bottle's,glass I thought will be so easy. However it has been a challange I normally take great photographs bottles not so great. Enjoy. Once I get up to speed on the photo quality. I will post a bit more.

      I have a Watkins Dandruff Remover and Scalp Tonic, no label, the cork portion of the stopper is still in the bottle. I have had a hard time finding anything out about my bottle. I think that is was made between 1855 and 1865, and is iron/graphite pontil. Can anyone tell me if this is valuable? It really does not matter because it is a beautiful antique amber Watkins bottle!
      Thanks - Fran
