9/23 dig - 9/23/2007 7:34:14 PM    appliedlips Posts: 1673 Joined: 1/30/2005 Status: online      Josh and I were able to get out and dig a hole we had lined up for some time now.Turned out to be a fun one with a bunch of bottles including some real nice ones.The best was a killer teal or emerald Baltimore druggist bottle.Ended up with some nice flasks,sodas,a killer little plate,a redware jar, and about 30 local druggists.Most of it dated 1865-80 with the scroll flask and the redware being a little earlier.The hole was half in the neighbors yard and took some mining work but we ended up getting it cleaned without his yard falling in.Haha.It was about 9 or 10 ft. long and about six feet deep,unfortunately a newer brickliner cut into the juicy side.It was a fun dig and great getting some nice bottles again.Any info on the druggist is appreciated and I am sure Josh would be greatful.Doug Attachment (1) Post #: 1

I'd be grinning from ear to ear if I dug three flasks like that, not to mention the rest of that pile. The druggist is a keeper for sure. I'd love to dig a colored one like that.

I ended the day with truck problems due to some bad gas 150 miles away from my house. But I did manage to get home. But my NY digging trip is on hold for now and I get to spend tomorrow working on my truck. Alot less fun then digging an 1850s stoneliner in Brooklyn. But anyway. That teal druggist bottle is killer I've never even seen a piece of one in that color. Clear ones from that Pharmacy are scarce. I'd think you could easily get $500-$600 on that druggist anyday from one of the baltimore pharmacy collectors. I will have a look next time I'm downtown at the archives and see if I can Find you sone dates of operation for him.
