    I think the red bar you've found is actually a bar of sealing wax, that was used to seal letters and parcels. It was melt on the paper and sometimes a seal was pressed on it.

The ink jars and candles turned out amazing! I like when the wax runs down the bottles as well. I also love it when you do the history of the companies that made those old bottles. You lovely ladies are an inspiration to all. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

    I was thinking... If u get yourself a high speed rotary tool with diamond tips ( u can get inexpensive ones) you can cut and engrave glass. So... If u find a nice bottle bottom but top is broken off u can cut it even and upcycle it😊 plus the cut edge can be heated with a propane torch til it glows and that process removes sharp egdges. Hope I helped😊❤😊

    I'm from S.wales in the United Kingdom and back in the 1977 I was 7yrs old and we used find loads of brilliant treasures like these in a huge rubbish dump right next to my small estate and there would be lots of bottles with a marble in the neck of the bottle we used to call "Alley Bottles". We would dig them up and leave them there, OMG how stupid and ignorant were we totally love your videos especially Mother and Daughter sharing the same awesome hobby. Old treasures big or small is a part of our history and heritage, keep digging as long as you can love the channel.

What i can remember you two ladies would have been knee deep in bottles of all sorts the place isn't completely covered but saying that there's a couple of places I know of which lightly covered. But watching you two ladies dig, does bring back good old memories and i do miss that piece of youth. So ladies don't stop digging and i love the channel awesome work.

    the huge jar bottom can also be a round window piece these originate in the 15th century but in the 19th century, this type of lead and glass type of making windows had a bit of a revival because going medieval was all the rage in the 1860s to 80s.

      @@NorthernMudlarks Hi Gail and Alex. I was especially interested in the history behind the green bottle from the Messrs Burroughs and Wellcome. It so happens that the Burroughs-Wellcome pharmaceutical company had [or still has] a headquarters located in Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill [otherwise also known as the RTP [Research Triangle Park] in my home state of North Carolina, which also has a town called Snow Hill. Funny how things circle around and connect with each other in unexpected ways. That cream jar was a great little find, Alex, it's so pretty! It's a pity that the dump site got filled in and you can no longer dig there. The thought of all those treasures that got destroyed in the filling in process is heartbreaking. Great find on the whole Codd bottle! That "medicine" bottle had a very disturbing history behind it. Imagine taking something that's supposed to make you feel better, only for it to be poisoning you instead. Insane!
      P.S. I'm so happy to have found your channel, it's so relaxing, wholesome and refreshing in the midst of all the madness that's going on in the world these days.
      I'm gobsmacked that you found, on different occasions, the head of the figurine, and then part of the body that goes with it. What are the chances of that? Astronomical.

    Just a bit of advice. Those short white glazed bottles you found so many of are actually furniture polish bottles, or black polish bottles for blacking a fireplace etc. If you find any with a pouring lip then they are ink bottles! The Andrew eckfords ginger beer bottle is a quite rare bottle, very hard to come by. You are very lucky to have that dump! Best regards, Brian.

    Love the candles labels. What talent. I once found a Coddington bottle with my old town's name on it Tyldesley Lancashire. Wish I still had it . Keep up the good work.

    There's something about old bottles and crocks. They were just so well made and detailed. I'm so sorry that I never pay attention to all the old bottles when I was young,especially the blue ones,like the common Milk of Magnesium bottles. We just never suspect that it would all come to an end one day :(
