    Is this a Miniature backbar bottle?

    This looks similar to what I've seen used by hotels. I would theorize this was used to deliver a double, "two drinks", with room service at a nice hotel. Neat bottle!

    Galveston Dig

    I went out again this weekend and mostly dug along the exterior of the privy from the trip before. I was rewarded with two distinct trash pits. One was full of wood and broken beer bottles, but I did pull a nice local cure (PRESTON'S HED-AKE CURE) and hutch. The other was a newer trashpit...

    Galveston Dig

    Last time out, my probe found something that felt interesting. Turned out to be a privy. I was super thrilled to find a local flask in the fill layer. I was making steady progress, but was having a hard time working through a high water table. After several hours, I still hadn't reached...

    Hemihampton, good call. The KR9 is marked that way.

    Galveston Dig

    My last dig was cool and rainy. I appreciated the weather with summer just around the corner. I probed out a promising spot near the side walk. Turned out to be a trashpit. I recovered around 50 bottles, mostly slick whisky flasks, but also some perfumes and cures. I did find one local...

    Texas Hotel Bottles.....

    I recently picked up these two bottles. One from Houston and one from Galveston. I am theorizing (sounds better then guessing) that these were either creamers, or maybe used to serve something like an aperitif. Can anyone confirm or guess with me? Does anyone have something similar? From...

    Barq's Root Beer

    A lot of good info on this thread, but I did leave a little confused on when the barq's acls started. 1934 or 1939. Ive been reading up because I dug this. It appears to be date coded 1937 and Im curious as to whether it would have been an acl or not.

    Galveston Dig

    I probed out a promising spot near the alley. Unfortunately it was mostly slick pharmacy bottles and flasks except for the Newbro's. There was wood at depth so I thought I would try trenching along it. That's how I discovered the hutches.

    Crude bubbly flask....looking for opinions

    I found this flask going through some of my dad's things. All he could say about it was that his dad said it was a confederate canteen. Idk about that, but on the other end of the spectrum, a different source speculated maybe European origin. Love the bubbles and crude lip. Base has an area...
