Would be an exciting dig but they are pretty common so dont feel to bad...  if you wanted one bad you could pick it up for a pretty fair price... I have an amber one I would let go of some where...  _____________________________ When I was just a little young boy, Papa said son, you'll never get far, Tell you the reason, if you wanna know, Cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go.

I found the Richards I have for ya, its a light reddish amber, not much yellow but not dark brown, I'm running out of day light for the pictures and since I quit e-bay I dont have my old photo set up handy.  I think the pictures represent the bottle well though, especially the close up pictures as far as color.  It is mint condition excepting it seems to have some very light inside haze... I cant tell if its just me or not.  Otherwise a nice sheen with some nice bubbles in the neck and few seeds scattered about.  It was in my collection but lately its been boxed up.  Its such shame to keep a good bottle boxed, and I have another olive one on display so I'll let it go if you want it!  Seems Im rambling on again, here are the pics... _____________________________ When I was just a little young boy, Papa said son, you'll never get far, Tell you the reason, if you wanna know, Cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go.
