Only Dug for a Couple of Hours Yesterday... - 10/24/2008 8:15:06 PM    Staunton Dan   Posts: 399 Joined: 5/5/2005 From: Staunton, VA Status: offline Not a whole lot to show for yesterdays dig, but I moved quite a bit of dirt in the couple of hours that I had to dig. What you see here are a couple of Bromos, cone inks, a neat complete soap dish, a local medicine, a Dr. Bulls Cough Syrup and a stoneware Arnold's master ink. I found a neat lock with a key on a chain still in the lock. I'm using electrolysis right now to get the rust off. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

It's an Angostura Bitters embossed on the shoulder and bottom, "Dr. JGB Siegert & Hijos (Spanish for Brothers).

It's not worth much, but it's a good piece to practice on and it should display well after I'm finished. Attachment (1) (in reply to Staunton Dan) Post #: 4

I'm still looking for my 1st embossed bitters. Angostura Bitters don't count. (in reply to tigue710) Post #: 6

I will do my best to find some good stuff to help you live vicariously through my finds. Hope your ankle heals quickly and the freeze hold off until you can get some good digging in.

Hang in there, that first embossed botters is in the next hole (save one for me, I'm still looking for my first one, too). _____________________________ Always looking for bottles from Rhode Island and Danielson and Killingly, CT.
