<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nightowl, post: 1246287, member: 18614&quot;]I&#039;m most grateful for the input. I looked at 1830 varieties at Heritage until I was cross eyed, and was looking to see what the guys who are up on these had to say. It&#039;s a shame it wasn&#039;t an N-9, but the odds were pretty slim. These were dug ina&nbsp; field about a city block from the oldest glass making concern in the US. I believe there&#039;s a good chance that these were lost when they were new, and one simply held up better in this evil Pennsylvania soil for whatever reason. The soil here in coal country contains way more sulphur than most places, and if you were to see how bad some of the other 17 are that I&#039;ve recovered, these might strike you as more impressive, given that they laid in this ground forever. </p><p><br /></p><p>It was fun bringing them to light and imagining that the last person to hold these was likely a german immigrant glass blower. I still hold out hope for early US silver, though no such luck yet. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks guys ...... I really appreciate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nightowl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
