got hosed! - 9/25/2006 6:16:55 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2012 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline I went digging with my friends dad and me friend showed up for less than half of the dig and he got a third share and to beat that he got first pick! an Indian Sagwa by someone and bigelow I'm geussing from pittsburgh because there is a bigelow street there. I did end up with a milk from steubenville that was unlisted and a few other goodies but I'm pretty jacked! Here is a pic of the Rumsford Chemical Works ink I took as my first pick. It's not too shabby but it sure doesn't have an Indian embossed on it like the Bigelow bottle Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

I just googled it and found 2 for less than 55 dollars. I'm hoping I lucked out by stupidity. what do ya think of the ink, gunther? I did get a couple of nice medicines and a decent crock though. I don't feel nearly as bad as before but it is dirty to not even be there for half of the dig and get first pick! _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 3

Although it does look a little like the Carters cathedral inks. http://www.antiquebottles.com/pics/Rumford.jpg Here's one with a label. It was an alkaseltzer type product. They are a cool color and come in various sizes. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 4

Just figured I'd get you fired up again. ;) There are actually alot of different types of this bottle. There are several different indian heads and depending on which one it is determines the value.

First bottle possibly for a Steubenville Dairy. I did know it was good, first one my bottle mentor has ever seen and he's been in it for 30+ yrs. He's got dibs on it for when I get more and or poorer. Here's a nice pic of it and A pic of a local medicine to follow directly. Thanks for the education Gunther angain. By the way the was the best pick after all. Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to lexdigger) Post #: 6
