    Now that I have watched all of your videos I am ready to comment. My grandmother was born in 1890, yes 1890, my father in 1912 and I'm a 50's baby boomer. I grew up around and still live surrounded by old stuff. I love watching your videos. I love the memories, the education, the calmness. It is so nice that you don't add the sensational nor the conflict. I look forward to watching more.

      My paternal grandfather was born in 1888 and my paternal grandmother in 1890. Seriously, both in 1888 and 1890. My father was born in 1927. But I am a Generation X er. I also grew up around antiques and explored my maternal great grandparents' house next to my maternal grandparents' house (where my other great grandparents' lived there too). The oldest antique I own is a Victorian mourning jewelry lapel pin of my paternal great grandfather from Italy.

    I watched this dig while I ate lunch in front of my computer here in Billings MT. you've given me an idea-- not sure how good of an idea it is but here goes-- I'm seriously thinking of introducing myself to a some people on the other end of town, the older part. Maaybee, 1 or 2 will let me dig in their backyards. 😛🤭🙄 I worked at a church day care for a little over 20 years. About 1/2 way through my stay, the church had some work done. when the floor was dug up the workmen found a big chunk of a cut cow bone and some small fragments of pottery-- nothin special. the bone freaked the workers and us employees out.. every one thought it was human. during the 1918 flu epidemic the church was used as a hospital. thanks for taking us along.

    You're making me think about an old two-hole outhouse i know of out side of Searchlight, NV. on what was once a large mining operation. They had several buildings there for the workers who mined there and ran the mill. It's been said that miners often stashed the high-grade specimens that they found in the mine in them. Usually in a bag tied to a string, which often slid out of the crack that the knot of the string was wedged into and fell with a plop🙂There is a huge can dump on the property that i've found old coins and bar tokens in, but nary a bottle. So now you got me thinking.

    • @BestSellers2122
      @BestSellers2122 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think the reason the eyes usually aren’t with the doll heads is because they are made of separate pieces of porcelain and then placed behind the cut outs of the face. The eyes probably fell out as the other organic parts of the doll decomposed. Makes me wonder if they weren’t maybe in the dirt around where the doll head was found.

    @653j521 ปีที่แล้ว

    It struck me that someone had to decide what shape and color went with which product. I imagine the bottler began with a few shapes and then subsequent bottlers added or subtracted based on popularity and usefulness, and major manufacturers standardized their own signature bottles for their products. The wrong bottle could ruin the experience for the consumer struggling to get the substance out and use it. Bottles from abroad seemed markedly different from US styles. It's interesting to see how a bottler would add inscription and design to a standard shape for an apparent limited run. I wonder if bottlers were regional because of the difficulty of transporting bottles in the territories and new states in areas without train access, while limiting breakage. I learned in England that the canal boats were a huge advance over stagecoaches for the china companies trying to get their goods to market intact.
