Maybe a Veronica water type product. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to downeastdigger) Post #: 2

If you picture a crude CA Richards, and put Bottling Co on it, what type of bottle might that be? Maybe you're right about a Veronica water, what about a whiskey? Been diggin - Where do you dig, are you near Boston? It's funny, the guy I have been digging this dump with is obsessed with digging a cobalt skul :) I told him I've been digging 30 years and havn't dug a shard of one so dont hold your breathe.

RE: Anyone know this Boston Bottle? - 5/8/2008 11:35:35 AM    GuntherHess Posts: 4221 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online I searched the embossing on the 6279 medicines I currently have in my database for the  string "TTLING". One benefit of an electronic database is that takes about 5 seconds. No matches found. Doesnt mean its not a medicine, but would mean its pretty uncommon. I dont really list bitters so it could be one of those. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to downeastdigger) Post #: 5

For one thing I think they're English bottles, like the subs and goose necks. So if someone did happen to throw one in the dump, and it happened to survive (they are pretty fragile) the first thing you'll need to dig it out is your passport. One has to guess not many where thrown into crappers or dumps in the first place. _____________________________ got to love this brawdhttp://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Maria+McKee&page=2 (in reply to beendiggin) Post #: 8
