Zane and crew - Wow, you must have found a lot more bottles. It's taking you a long time to split them up.  I thought you would have called or posted by now. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

RE: Historical Flask Hole!!! - 3/15/2007 3:23:23 AM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    Hey Rick it was like a poker game trying to make our picks. I think we all did alright. Here's a phot of my take. I traded something for two of the bottles I couldn't bare to see them leave the Valley. Can anyone figure out this bottle? "Dr. Drake's German Croup Remedy" Findlay Ohio, "The Glessner Medical Company". One other one we were having trouble finding out about is a Root Beer extract from Pittsburgh Pa.. It's embossed "Galvin's / Root Beer / Pittsburgh Pa."(Front) and "This Package Makes / 5 Gallons / 25 cts." By the way I did pick the " Hunter / Pike's Peak" flask first. A hard Bottle to pass up. I also wound up with a great hutch and a great Beer from Steubenville. Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to Flaschenjager) Post #: 23

I changed your thread title back to its original. You can change it w/ each reply. Zane - I just tried calling you back. I have a listing for the Dr. Drakes in my old Ohio book. Now you need to work on those crazy large pics. I have a wide - large monitor and I have to scroll a good bit.  Call if you need to, I'll be home thru Friday then I'm diggin' all weekend. _____________________________ 'Meech' Our websites: http://mysite.verizon.net/flaschenjager/bottles.html Member of FOHBC - RABCA - APBCA Editor of 'The Digger' in full color!

Best I've ever done was the lower half of a Pikes Peak. Did dig a perfect Drakes Plantation Bitters once though and a couple of Doyles Hop Bitters. That has yet to happen again... But I've paid my dues and figure my "time" is gonna come.

GALVIN'S RUSSIAN COUGH SYRUP PITTSBURGH, PA. Galvin's Cough Cure Washington Extract Co. Newark, N.J. US.A. The Dr. Drake's German Croup Remedy is fairly common. I have two different Sterling's Ambrosia listed but yours appears to be an earlier variant, is it pontil marked? < Message edited by GuntherHess -- 3/16/2007 2:05:45 PM > _____________________________ 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 whiskeyman) Post #: 40
