I suggest getting the metal wire from a pale of cat litter if you want to recreate the wire stabilizer... it's sturdy enough, will retain it's bend, and easy enough to bend
@@antiquebottlestories I used a bunch of them makes hooks for my pot and pans to hang from this chrome bar shelf thingy I have... made a little "jig" to bend them around so they all look similar and everything
A gross is another way of saying "a dozen dozens" 1 gross = 144 Also, grading equipment sorts fruits and vegetables by size, there isn't much to it besides what you already said. There are trap doors at the bottom that heavier fruits will fall through, but lighter fruits get redirected. And just as a guess, perhaps the bottles were manufactured straight, and then bent while the glass was still hot/ reheated and bent? I'm not a glass manufacturing expert though, idk 😅
As someone who is interested enough in antiques to watch videos about them but not interested enough to do the hunting/research/collection of them, I love finding channels like this.
i often think about that. Especially if they wouldve guessed people would be digging up their outhouse holes in 100 years. They would be so disgusted at the thought. LOL!
This bottle is machine-made but it's an from the early days of manufacture. The "creases" on the bottom is a common symptom of early machine-made pieces. I have a import beer bottle from Japan that's all wrinkly.
My Meme had one of these! There was mouse poison in the bottom, the opening is tipped down to the floor. Mice can slip into the crack the mouth makes with the floor, eat the poison and go on their way to expire The dog couldnt get to it even with a paw
Yeah its crazy the stuff you can find at an antiques flea market. Last year a guy had a full box of embalming stuff in the original box/case it came in. So cool.

Im learning new things everyday. Yeah i was wondering that too, how they put that dent in there. :) Have a good one!
I’m a little late but congratulations on 1000 subscribers🎉🎉🎉
Hey Thanks man!
did you see your pin money video is up?
He sounds like a very smart and interesting fellow. Always inventing things that can be useful.
Now this is a niche part of RUclips I stumbled into interesting nontheless.
Cool. Glad you stopped in :)
Gross = 12 dozen = 144, that's 12.5 cents per exterminator, adjusted for inflation, $2.33 per exterminator.
Not bad i guess.

Im glad to hear it! It just gets me out of my head for a while. I dont drink or smoke, so this is my vice. LOL
yes, a minimalist here who loves antiques 😂
I wonder what people from back when these bottles were made would think about people collecting them now?
i often think about that. Especially if they wouldve guessed people would be digging up their outhouse holes in 100 years. They would be so disgusted at the thought. LOL!
Good show as always... thanks on the deep dive researching 💛👍
Thanks! :)
Didn't know what to expect with this video, but very interesting jaunt through a fairly unknown man's history.
It just tips up so that it is more upright. This is too steep for a mouse to climb out. It doesn't look like it kills them.
He sounds a very enterprising fellow!❤
I thought so too

Yeah during those transitioning times its kinda hard to tell. But thanks!

Yeah i thought that was a pretty neat invention. Probably could still be useful.
there are some weird inventions out there. never dug one of those. nice going on that one.

😊
That was different... interesting
Yeah i never seen anything like it. Definitely cool.
so its basically a bait station.
yep
A gross is 12 dozen (144)
Ah. Now i know!
I love the odd looking bottles. I wonder what it cost to patent something back in the day?
good question
Love your vids!
I appreciate it! :)
A gross is 12 dozen.
