Is this what your bottle looks like? (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 2

RE: Richmond, Va. " Ten Pin" - 10/27/2009 10:23:55 PM    VA is for Diggers Posts: 368 Joined: 9/6/2008 From: G-Ville VA Status: offline The only Richmond Ten Pins I have seen are semi-scarce, and are easily attainable. Usually they are less than $50. I did not see the bottle you mentioned in the Ayers book, so if in fact it has Richmond embossed with the name, you probably have a $500+ bottle.

The exact embossing is running diagonally. It says "Adam V. Christian / Richmond, Va.", in script _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to VA is for Diggers) Post #: 6

So, have you been having your assistant post your photos or what? For future reference, if you want to post one of your excellent photos, put up one of these [image]drag your photo here & bracket it with[/image] I hope that works for you. BTW, the bracket guys are not in bold to do this process. (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 8

RE: Richmond, Va. " Ten Pin" - 10/28/2009 2:51:37 PM    surfaceone Posts: 7138 Joined: 12/9/2008 Status: offline Hey Zane, I kept looking and found one of those Worth Point pages for an amethyst one. I also found a July 10, 1908 edition of the Times- Dispatch. I included the Times Dispatch pages mainly because of the cool ads. I could not master the enlarge feature on this site. There may or may not be something on Adam V. Christian therin. There is however, a very cool ad for Pepsi that describes it as "The original Pure Food drink..." If nothing else, you will get some entertainment value from perusing the ads. Sorry I could not come up with something definitive. (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 9

It was a good summer for Craig and me. There's a few more good days left to dig this year. I'd love to find one more Steubenville Squat. I put better than 25 different Steubenville blob beers and sodas together since Spring, among a fee more good locals. Work sure cuts into digging these days, though. how you doing Ryan? _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 15
