Iron pontiled, a beautiful sapphire blue and embossed 10 sided Catell's Superior Mineral Waters Salem, N.J. and tapered lip. Dated to the 1850s it is worth well over $800 whole. My most recent dump yeilded one of these; the lip broken off. I was upset, and had no idea of the dollar value at the time. I carelessly dropped it where it landed on a rock and shattered it. To this day it haunts me to think of what could've been. (in reply to mattatennis) Post #: 4

I had never seen one of these in anything close to this color until a friend in our bottle club gave it to me last winter.  I didn`t dig it, but my heart races when I think that if there was one made, there`s got to be another one out there somewhere! I did dig some great pieces a month or two ago which I posted, but Bixbys are still my favorite, and I know that there is one of these out there waiting for me!

Blade - that was one gorgeous bottle. Here is mine for 2010. This bottle is extra-ordinarily rare. As far as I can tell, this mineral water has never been seen whole. I believe I have the largest known shard. That is all great but it could have been whole. Attachment (1) (in reply to Bixby Bill) Post #: 13

My last real heartbreakers were from late 2008 with our big soda dump dig. We dug pieces of numerous local bottles that had NEVER been reported, or event heard of before. At least a few from my hometown too. While it was sad to not dig a whole one, it was VERY cool to dig pieces of bottles that were yet to be known to the hobby, and I hope to add those pieces to my collection someday, if I ever find them whole.... The plus side of the dig, is we did dig whole/ good specimans of a few other unheard of bottles from nearby towns, and a few very rare pieces from my hometown. I hope to dig another soda shop sometime in my life, because that was the best digging and most interesting digging I have ever done! _____________________________ Formerly : Insulators Rule!

Every other bottle from this layer was whole and PERFECT!... (Ain't it usually the way?)
