Little Amber... - 9/24/2006 10:36:33 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Out digging today and was shoveling out my hole - nearly stuck the shovel in this guy.  Guess I missed him with my rake. Not sure if it's even a poison, but a lot of times the amber and the many sides indicate a poison.  What do you think?

It may be a medicine, but the style is also similar to some of the English poisons. It's cool whatever it is. Nice color! ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 3

Eight sided with paper thin flaired lip. You could almost slice your finger on the edge its's so thin. No markings at all though. Cliff Attachment (1) (in reply to Jim) Post #: 4

The blue octagonals were widely used over here, my local c.1880 dump produced a lot of them, have seen 3 different sizes in total... nice bottles. (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 6
