RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 1/30/2008 12:01:13 AM    Leisalu   Posts: 35 Joined: 7/6/2004 From: Northern California Status: offline Great topic !  A few years ago at our bottle show I did a display of broken killer bottles I've dug over the years. That display generated a ton  interest. Though good ones can be dug intact  it seems like the best ones are usually broken. This busted green California Club House Whiskey is a highly rated Western 5th that  came out of a six foot deep privy in Northern California. Two whole Cutter 5ths and this thing had to be in pieces.

RE: Your Best Heartbreaker - 1/30/2008 1:32:56 PM    CazDigger   Posts: 80 Joined: 6/26/2005 From: Central NY State Status: offline Hey Tigue, I saw one recently in one of the Auction houses, I just don't remember which one. Probably Glassworks or American Bottle Auctions. It isn't as nice as a figural bitters, but is extremely rare. It looks like it should have been pontiled. It was mixed in with 1850-1870s stuff.

It is heavy, clear lead glass, looks like it was made in the UK and was dug in a 1840s pontiled privy . It is so sick, it is almost impossible to read. Inside a shield is EF COOKE WETHERSFIELD CON.

This one for me is the "mother of all shards".  It goes to a Stoddard made, unlisted and unfound bottle, about the same mold and dimentions of a Townsends Sarsaparilla.  The only embossing on this piece is a comma, and then N.H. I met someone at our show last year.  He claims he has the shards to an almost whole one.  I offered him $500 cash for the pieces and he said no!  And now I've lost his name and number !!!!  AUGH.   But he said the bottle is pontilled , and embossed on four sides reading " DR. WYCKOFFS / COMPOUND EXTRACT / OF SARSAPARILLA /  EXETER, N.H." So my goal this year is to dig a privy in Exeter ( 20 miles away ) and find the first whole Wyckoffs Sarsaparilla, as well as a Dr. Sweets Panecea Exeter NH  ( also olive amber Stoddard pontilled ).  Is that too much to ask  !!!!!!!!???????? Thanks for starting this cool thread, and continuing it, and showing your shards !!!
