ID dug 1860s Cathedral Pickle

Anytime you can get bottles from a Civi War site it’s a good day. In FL we seldom have these opportunities. Nice specimens. Thank you for sharing.

Getting a little lost in my replies but thank you for all of this great information. It’s unlikely that I will ever come up with a dug bottle like this.

I agree it’s extremely rare, although it was more of an isolated surface find found in pure white sand, partial exposed through erosion. Thx!

Thank you so much! This was actually a surface find on a river bank that had been eroded by 2 big storms. A small corner of the bottle was exposed beneath a 2x6. It lay in pure white sand. This was previously the homesite of a Civil War veteran who was a scout and private and rode w/Confederate...

Thank you. Can you tell me the maker of this bottle? And can you tell me if I’m right in saying that the bottle was made around 1860s? Appreciate you!

Please find attached a photo of an 11.5” cathedral pickle. I’ve been told it’s 1863, made Pittsburg, Penn. However, I cannot find one with this specific design. See photo. It also appears to be an iron pontil. Thx! Would like value as well.
