- Another visit to the the old tip turned out quite a few beers but I seem to have hit a patch of blank ones! I think it is creeping into the 1920s the further up the hill I go but I don't mind as there is still some great stuff in there with a nice little surprise ginger beer the end of the dig and can't go wrong with finding a few ink bottles!

I think this round-up really shows the variety of shading in the bottle colours. I never realised before how varied they could be. I love the wonky neck on the aqua sauce bottle that's on the turntable with the aqua ink, & another sauce - which wobbled dangerously as it came around. :O I also liked the coffin whiskey, & the Escoffier. Another ginger beer! You're spoiled for choice. ;)
Thanks, I have had some really good digs so far this year
Awesome dig mate done well love the ginger beer 👌👌 thanks for shearing enjoyed watching 👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers mate, we all love a ginger beer 😁
Whoa those bottles are so nice!
Thank you, I am lucky they clean up so well!
@@edwarddurley2110 Yeah for sure!
Right early tip your digging there some really nice bits
Thanks Mark, it was a nice spot in a small mining village, nothing too rare there but some nice bits 👍
Отличный улов, можно лишь завидоввть. Супер!!!!
Спасибо 🙂
beautiful tip! sad about the necked codds; I just found out that around 1911 here in Australia laws were made that p[rohibted the breaking of codds/bottles obviously because the bottle companies worked via a deposit and return system and they were losing too much bottles due to naughty (normal) kids breaking the codds to get the marbles:)
Thanks! Yes that is right, I think the drink company had to sell a bottle 4 times to break even on the cost of the bottles production which is pretty crazy but they are like works of art! I have found a few later ones that have a different patent and instead of a marble they have like a double sided cone shape which still works as a stopper but pretty useless as a marble 😂
@@VintageParagonUk yeah true. i often think about how much the cordials works invested in the actual bottles. it must have bene expensive to purchase a contract of say 20,000-100,000 hand made ginger beer bottles.
@@ISCDESIGNAustralia It is easy to forget when digging that most of the things we find have been hand made and it was someone's job to just throw clay all day or blow glass day in day out, all those man hours put into something that was just smashed up by a kid after a marble 😂
I love the jam jar. I could do with some of those to put my homemade marmalade in!
Thanks! They are really handy for putting stuff in around the house😁
So many great finds !! Congrats :) Enjoyed watching !
Thank you ☺
When TH-cam finally recommends something worth watching 👌🏼😄 Very nice finds and scenery!
Thanks mate 🙂👍
The ginormous beer bottle is an incredible find, in such perfect condition! Wow!
I don't know where to put it, it is massive 😂 it is in the garden at the moment.
Some great stuff there Ed, yep one of those beers would look great ull of musket balls mate, lovely ginger as well, keep them coming fella : )
Cheers Phil, you probably need the big beer near the end to fit in all of your musket balls 😂
Beautiful finds! The ginger beer is superb! x
thanks Amanda ☺
Lipton is tea
I think they also made other beverages in those days so I think it might have been some sort of lemonade maybe
Great bottles mate, what's that song at the end it's a right little lick!..
Thanks, the song was from the TH-cam audio library called 'know myself' by Patrick Patrikios 👍
Thanks mate got that if ever around Richmond Upon Thames gimme a shout I've got a few decent London digs atm.. Danny
Cheers mate, I love the variety you guys have around London, I have a few mates over that way so might take you up on that.
How old are these bottles do you think,we should have recycled years ago. It looks like everything has rotted away except glass and metal.
Most of these are 1900-1920, there is lots of dumps all over filled with glass, metal and ceramic. Perhaps one day in the future they will be dug out and recycled. I suppose it was cheaper and easier to just make something from new rather than recycle it.
@@VintageParagonUk I might start doing this,there is a land fill site that was used back in the 1950s on a old fort in Herefordshire.
I've lived in Ferndale my whole life and can't recall ever hearing of a Jones and Sons. I'll dig through some history book and see if I can find anything
I have found quite a few of the Codd bottles from them but yet to find a complete one, I couldn't find any information about them either. Next time I am there I will pick up the green one that I left there and you are welcome to have it if you like?
That would be awesome thanks so much, I've gone through one or two books and can't see anything that matches exactly. A few Jones but nothing with sons. I'll have a look through the RCT council photo archive tomorrow plenty of shopkeepers had photos outside shops back in the early 1900s.
@@Garron88 No problem, I would be very interested to see what you find out 👍 If you come across anything about T.E.Evans chemist (probably 1920s) or J.Burgess chemist (a little earlier) that would be interesting too as I have found a few of their medicine bottles, I assume they would be on Ferndale high street too 🙂
@@VintageParagonUk Jeremiah Burgess chemist was 44-45 High street Ferndale started around 1895 (now Harrison's home decor) that was still around in the 50s when my late father was a kid.
Couldn't see anything in the business directory for T.E Evans but only looked up to 1912.

You can just make out the end of Burgess name on the left side of the photo it's blocked by the wall
Love the tiny jug! Did you leave it?
I think I did forget to take it that day but I picked it up on my next visit there, right where I left it and it survived the frost 😃👌
So dainty...can just imagine some tiny person setting the table with this little creamer and serving all the toys! History comes alive.
@@impunitythebagpuss I love finding stuff like that, bottles are cool but I like the social history and imagining what life was like back then.
Where in wales can you please find old bottles can you please help us
Most towns and villages needed to dump their rubbish somewhere, good places to look are along rivers and streams on the outskirts of towns or look on old maps for quarries, ponds or ditches that might have been filled in. Good luck with your hunt 👍
