Is that vertically ribbed flask citron or some kinda green? Those have been attributed to the  Louisville KY Glass Works and even the ambers sell for $40 - 50.00 on eBay...Good luck on the remainder of the dig.... _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

I dig a lot of late 1800s flasks, but that is one type that I have not found yet. Some of my favorite bottles have come from 1880s-90s pits, including local hutches, colored medicines and a one-of-a-kind local pharmacy citrate. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to privvydigger) Post #: 4

Well I'm off to finish the hole! We had all the neighbors out yesterday and secured a few more digs....usually how it works.... may the bottle gods be with you all today _____________________________ gtr'dug (in reply to privvydigger) Post #: 9
