Loved your bakelite button and the toy car from the late 90s with the amazing patina. The marble and dolly dish are a matched pair. Thank you for showing the blob tops. I was thinking to myself what a handsome looking bottle when Drew held it up in the video and what a surprise---a treat to look at the blob top river finds. A poetic day with taking a healing breather at the river's edge and then finding the rock note later in the day. Thank you Cathy! (Loved the backdrop that was behind the bottles---what a cozy winter day)

Hi Rita! Not a ton of finds that day, but a good assortment. I did not clean the toy cars.. I left them "as found". I really do wonder if the little dish and marble were made at the same time and place.🤔 They match exactly!! And that is how I am displaying them.. together. I wish I had the camera going when I discovered that message stone! I was done filming! Had to turn the camera back on. It amazes me the things I find.. I go out with camera in hand, extra batteries, and no idea if I will find ANYTHING to share.. but somehow there is always a special gift, just waiting! Honestly, I can't plan a thing like that!! I hope someone else found it too. -Cathy🙂💖

Hi Susan! Any blobs we have found since that video were probably Boston bottles, and you would have seen those, one at a time in videos. Probably only a few, since last spring. We don't find zillions of blob-tops. Funny how many from NY though.🤔 Must have come home with Mass travellers, who went to NY. Patent meds are another story, as they were shipped all over! Not too many finds that outing, as we didn't have much time that day.. but it was worth the trip! (And the message on the stone was for me alright! Just breathe... I'd have kept it, but I didn't want to interfere with it's purpose. -Cathy👋🙂😴💖

Hi Amanda! Glad you enjoy the "not so recent" outings.. I nearly collapsed that day, from the heat, in that "frog suit". The water smelled bad (something had died) and I was desperate enough to bath in it anyway!😬 (The rest of the story. Lol) Yes, I loved that wording in the ad also! I wondered if it was the daughter in charge, who wrote that.. She must have been quite the no-nonsense woman of her time! But I truly have never seen a bottle with "& Daughter" on it. That would have been great! She was in charge last few years of her Dad's life, due to his poor health, apparently. And of course those were just the NY blobs... We have MANY Boston blobs! 🙄 Hope spring arrives soon.. had two bluebirds here this week, so that was a treat! 🐦🐦💖🙂😎

Hi There, We currently only take a broken bottle home if it is something rare, or to research it, or photograph it for the video. I do save beautiful shards, and hope to use some myself some day. But we are not cutting down bottles, nor have we sold any for that purpose. We do see how popular that has become, but it would mean hauling even more stuff home!😬 We've got to draw the line somewhere.🙄 -Cathy💖
