That is a nice bottle, I like it when they are full of embossing like that. I have a few local bottles on my want list that always come up broken, too . The good ones are out there. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 4

I got supersick of the bottle critics and bottle snobs when I was posting a lot.  I think a lot of people do. Hard to ignore so many posters who seem to have their fun by trying to kill someone else's. Constructive criticism, one thing yes, but just being crappy for the sake of being crappy is another. Ya'll good folk rock on, hope everyone is doing well. Glad you are still digging some awesome bottles, Rhona. That soda is definitely the stuff!!! _____________________________ Dan The only thing better than the broken glass and dirt going down the back of your pants is that bottle you're about to uncover.

That would be neat. That jug is nice. I always find the tops to those kind of things but never any more then that.

RE: tue 6-10 finds - 6/13/2008 10:00:52 AM    E   Posts: 134 Joined: 5/9/2008 Status: offline Rhona, Have you ever searched for bottles around the old Henryton Sanitarium (west of you somewhere around Riesterstown)?  I did an audit of that place (very creepy) in the late 80's - at that time there were lots of 1915-1930ish sodas/milks around (I didn't keep anything - doh!).  Think I also found a few older things (I recall a turn-mold bottle) on the Patapsco nearby.  Reality is that is has probably all been totally scoured by now like just about everywhere else...  If I'm rambling, it must be the bottle fever = I can't believe that I won't get another shot at digging again for weeks.  When I feel down looking at a purple Pepsi always improves my spirit: Attachment (1) (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 18
