Morbious' 2nd Dig - 11/18/2007 4:04:57 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline We went at it again yesterday 17 Nov. and had better luck. My son Michael aslo went along and dug for a short while.The best find was a Dove Brand Prepared Mustard from the Frank Tea & Spice Co of Cincinnati...makers of Jumbo PNut Butter. We dug one College Inn soda, a Freys Vermifuge, Spohns Distemper Compound, Everfresh Citrate Magnesia in emerald green, milk glass figural Christmas ornaments/lights, a huge pottery lid, a plain amber ribbed poison, many common embossed corkers and plain druggists' - all ABM, an odd little wide mouthed green jar that I have no idea what it was for, 8 marbles, and a bisque doll body (sans arms & legs).I rekkin we're gonna hit it again next weekend....

Unaware of the hidious creature that had sprung up behind him, Charlie's son was in a pleasent mood. This was of course just before he spotted the rare mythical black furred goateed sasquach of the middle appalachias. Just after this photo was taken, the creature could be seen howling in response to finding a broken ACL Chero Cola from Johnson City, TN. (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 4

I had an amber "federal law forbids" gin bottle with some nice embossing; however, it wound up with bad chip on it's lip. Oh well.  Left to right: A singer sewing machine oil, two sizes of Hinds Honey and Almond cream, that odd green wide mouth jar, a screw top bromo, a sheffer's ink, a cream bottle, a Lavoris bottle, a shoe polish, a corker clorox, and another everfresh bottle.

The lid for those had a brush built into it. Almost any of the Dove brand stuff, or any Frank Tea and Spice stuff is collectable and sought after. Great find. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to morbious_fod) Post #: 8

BTW...that "Appalachian Sasquatch" is harmless... (unless ya get "in his way.") Thanks for the update WARREN...was curious about their present day value. I also dug an identical jar but with no embossing whatsoever. Ever seen a label only example ? _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.
