RE: UNUSUAL BOTTLES - 2/5/2006 1:31:44 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline Drat...got booted off the site again...and had my post all typed...grrrrrrrr. Here's a couple of Eagle buttons I dug. One has initials: N.H.D.V.S. = National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. Currently known as Mountain Home VA Hospital in Johnson City TN... Was named the former when 1st built and for two or three years before name change...1901-03. I dug 3 of these and gave two away... Interesting note: I bought a clear BIM drug store type bottle on eBay not too long ago with the same initials. Not sure, but most likely is from the same place...

RE: UNUSUAL BOTTLES - 2/5/2006 1:57:07 PM    capsoda Posts: 7924 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: online Hey Charlie, I thought I'd seen the tiny soldier before. A guy I know who does termite inspections for his dads company found an original box of ten Johnny Rebs and an original box of hand painted marbles in near mint condition, get this, under a house on a sill beam. He's moved up to North Carolina but every time he comes home I try to buy them. The dice bottle is a perfume worth around $50.{pic} The cartridge was probable used as a dose cup. That would be about the size for opium and such.

Nice home made powder flask kinda, the cut down shell is a powder measure, probably for a pistol judging from the size. Is there any thing marked on the shell (head stamp)?

While the cobalt P (with a reverse) P, is probably known to most of you, this is the 1st I have seen with a label. As for the 3rd pic: I bid on and got beat down bad on one of these a few years ago. This is the 2nd one I've seen.
