I got to the bottom and found a couple of extremely common local 8 oz beers. (IVe dug hundreds of em) One of them didnt look right.

Ive never seen that before. I brought it home and sent an email to THE wisconsin crowntop collector. He just sent me one back saying that mine is the second that hes ever heard of, and he has the first. So i guess this is a pretty rare one Attachment (1) < Message edited by Tony14 -- 3/4/2008 3:59:52 PM > _____________________________ Looking for any Fond du Lac bottle.

RE: new local - 3/7/2008 11:22:46 PM    Jim Posts: 2429 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: offline Cool error bottle, Tony. I only know of two from here. There is a Chero-Cola bottle with LEWISTOWN PA misspelled LEWISTON. Now, there are Lewistons in other states, but none in PA, so it was definitely an error. The one I found is the only one I have ever seen. Unfortunately, it's damaged . I haven't even seen any others with the correct spelling. The other one is a Lewistown Bottling Works siphon seltzer bottle, also featuring the LEWISTON error. Those also come with the correct spelling, but both types are extremely rare. ~Jim  _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Dansalata) Post #: 4
