Saw nothing I couldn't live without, but did sell a couple of nice Renz's Herb Bitters that I dug last winter. The display was cool, though. Too bad that it wasn't as big as the "wall of whiskies" that we put up there in '94. I could've filled one of their cases with different colored Cundurangos, but didn't want to be tied up all day. Maybe next time. _____________________________ Mike Dig no privy before it's time. (in reply to Wilkie) Post #: 8

RE: 9-13 Downiville, Ca - 9/26/2008 12:19:09 AM    CALDIGR2   Posts: 511 Joined: 6/20/2005 Status: offline Both were large letter Renz's and olive amber in color. One had a killer drip that stuck out the side of the neck about 1/2" down from the lip. Nice western bottles that aren't dug so often these days. Everyone seems to put so much emphasis on the small letter ones, something that I don't really fully understand. I have dug both in the same pits, nearly side by side. _____________________________ Mike Dig no privy before it's time. (in reply to caldigs) Post #: 11

We recently dug a green small letter variant next to two busted large letter variants. Wonder if there were making both variants for a while ? (in reply to CALDIGR2) Post #: 12
