How scarce is the Russion Cough Syrup? Here's a couple of photos of a base emossed "Heinz Bros. & Co." sauce bottle. Notice the crudeness in it's appearance. The one seam is almost a lethal weapon. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 42

RE: Historical Flask Hole!!! - 3/16/2007 3:04:11 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline Ry,   The pleasure was all mine. I had a super time digging with you and George! I hope we can do it again soon. Don't let him use the "Stick" too often though I don't want him to empty it of all it's powers before I can dig with it again. I think that was the secret to our success. The "Flask-Stick" is a broken piece of broom handle we used to dig out all of those goodies. It has become an icon now in our minds.   Thanks again Ryan and George I had a blast! _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to bottlediger) Post #: 45

RE: Historical Flask Hole!!! - 3/16/2007 7:08:02 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2027 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline Thanks Rick, I appreciate the gesture. Take your time there's no hurry. You don't really need to take any photos of unless it's a new one I haven't heard of. See if you can just find out what kind of bottle and what is embossed on it. That's good enough for me. I'm not goin anywhere soon. And Yes, the "Hunter Flask" is also a "For Pikes Peak" on the reverse. I think I posted front and reverse photos. On most Pike's Peaks the Miner is facing left on mine he is facing right.  Did you see the shard of the other Pikes Peak hunter I dug. It's looked to be even more detailed than mine! Now all I have to do is figure out how to clean it. It's so darned thin! Matt, thanks I appreciate you looking things up for us here and not telling us to just buy your book. You have been quite a bit of help to many of us on the forum. I swear I'm going to be purchasing one very soon. Thanks again...............................Zane < Message edited by zanes_antiques -- 3/16/2007 7:20:44 PM > _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to GuntherHess) Post #: 48

I love to talk and brag I'm sure know but I want you guys to put some input into this thread. Maybe a few other people will pay more attention to you guys. You guys have "Clout"! I can't wait to see the one of the guy who's Birthday it was. He looked 65 atleast. A rough 65 at that! he was only 53 .....

Also, please excuse my use of expetives. I wasn't thinking these were going to go public. So if there are any young ears out there I'm going to put a PG13 RATING on the videos taken here. For Adult Language. That Video did come out pretty good other than distorting my voice! < Message edited by zanes_antiques -- 3/16/2007 11:11:38 PM > _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 53

RE: Historical Flask Hole!!! - 3/17/2007 12:16:26 AM    Digger George   Posts: 316 Joined: 10/5/2006 From: PHILAD'A PA Status: offline Watch this vid as a random guy comes up behind us to enjoy our dig. This is the second privy we found that was under 2 ft of concrete across the street. http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l292/christonaraft/?action=view¤t=MOV05450.flv In this vid another guy appears out of nowhere behind us. We our attempting to pry a 2 ton concrete slap out from the top of the hole so it doesn't fall on us while we're in there. Fortunately the concrete slab fell down but unfortunately it fell right on top of the hole, covering it. We had to fill the hole in hoping that some day we can get a jackhammer in there and blast through it. http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l292/christonaraft/?action=view¤t=MOV05455.flv < Message edited by Digger George -- 3/17/2007 12:18:47 AM > (in reply to Digger George) Post #: 55

I was happy to see that come out of the hole too even though it has a hairline. I have it and a matching cup also. It went up on the shelf with my nice transfer ware Teapot.
