Steve, any idea?

Went out to a prospective site this week trying to get some of the history in order per the land layout and was finding broken pottery like this. Any guess on a timeframe?
At first I thought 'crock' type jug, but the opening seems too small; any ideas?
 
Mine is intact and it is a mercury container.
Possibly????

a clay bottle. I think I have one around here somewhere. If I can find it I will post a picture.
 
I am not sure if this is what it is or not but I think it is. I found this bottle on the bottom of the St Clare River, which keeps Steve out of the USA. I have found hundreds of old bottles there but very few of these things.
I include the lable so someone might be able to give me some more information on the bottle.
I hope this helps....

I found it quite a while ago and never bothered to research it, just stuck it on a shelf. I would like to know how old it is though
 
about the old ginger beer bottles, where the fellows would just smack the top off the things to open them up because it was too difficult to open them up. Not sure if they had a cork in them like a wine bottle or what. (Before they came up with the flip top model)Some of those older crock bottles are rare to find in one piece because it was very common for them to be "Broken" open.
 
...give me a day or two to see if I can find it again. <img src="/metal/html/biggrin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":D">
 
Here in rural PA, I've found lots of these. They are ceramic insulators for electric wire fencing. I can still spot them nailed to trees and fenceposts that are still standing. The real clue is... If you don't find any other fragments from clay bottles laying around, I'd say its a good chance that you've got yourself a fencepost insulator there. Happy Hunting!-JH
