the Magic of…
“Old bottles are beautiful. The glass is flecked with air bubbles and tears; the stoneware burned to a fine gritty texture never seen on modern pottery… And were are these bottles to be found? The fact is that they are all around us – in rivers, in ponds and in long-forgotten rubbish dumps…. Millions of 19th-century bottles were exported from Britain as food and drink containers and as ships´ballast… Dig any 19th-century dump in North America or Australia – and you will find British bottles of that period….” Edward Fletcher, Bottle Collecting, 1972

hardcore british bottle digging – a tough site, taken on by diggerkilroy, an 1880s Victorian rubbish dump on the outskirts of a large industrial town is the venue. “Most enjoyable bottle digging vids on Youtube, thanks and keep them coming!”DrummondsPoint “Main reason for broken codd bottles is because the kids of the day would smash the bottle to get to the marble,there were no health and safety in those days so kids would be waitng for a cart to turn up at the dump and break our hearts years later..” tony74jsy VIDEOS:

Digger Kilroy burrows into the earth for Victorian bottles. Alan Klein makes bottles in his spare time. Glass, surfaces, topology, history – all have the potential to melt together in this short documentary.Ian Digger Kilroy: Heres a vid made by luke moody,i did with him a while back to help spread the word, it was entered into a number of film festivals with a bit of success, im sure there is scope to do something much more commercial if the right site came up.

SPIRITSCHWEPPES MARKETING-CABINET 
Greetings Hans
I read your article “Storytelling Schweppes since 1783 in the Bottles and Extra magazine. It was very interesting. I mainly collect Coca-Cola bottles, but do have a few Schweppes items.
I have a Schweppes bottle much like the one on page 38 of Bottles and Extra magazine (The photo has a Coca-Cola bottle, Schweppes and Coca-Cola books)
I never knew there was a holder for the bottle to be able to sit upright on a table for serving. I would be very interested in finding one to go with my bottle. Do you know where I could find one to purchase? I can send you photos of my bottle as well as dimensions if that is needed.
You have a very interesting collection. Thank you for sharing it in the article.
Thank you
Doug McCoy
Hi Dough,
you are my first contact to the Cokecollectors-World “over the ocean”. Thank you for your interest and your time.
After my article “Storytelling Schweppes” I started the blog https://spiritschweppes.com/ You´ll find a lot of details.
The bottle-holders of your interest are so called “Bottle Stands”. They were used in the upper class dining rooms of the Victorian Age, for sure by the Royal Family too 🙂
I send you a chart with examples. These botttle-stands are rare items. You can find them on ebay (US/GB), the price starts by 100 USD for non marked ones. Marked and silver ones are extremly rare.
I would be happy to share more know how between Coke & Schweppes!
All the best for you,
Hans-Juergen
Hans
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Now I have something else to look for to add to my collection, a bottle stand.
I am sure I will have more questions in the future.
Doug
