Last Friday I found my first Christmas Coke while digging with an excavator at work. The next day I went digging with a buddy and I found a second one!
On my first dig I found my one and only aqua DT Sweeny and after learning of its history I was hooked! Since that day I have been lucky enough to pull thousands of bottles, some good ones and lots of common stuff as well. I've sold a lot and traded a lot over the years and I've learned two...
I've pulled quite a few Chas B Fogarty & Co. Druggist bottles in my day but this past weekend I pulled this one that says, Tyler & Fogarty, Druggists, Key West Fla on it. I tried doing some research to see if it was pre or post the others I've found but had no luck...
That's actually WF, which stood for Wm Friedman. That was the first of his key west bottles, after that one he had two hutches. One of them is the champion soda factory bottle in the last pic.
I just got this one last week and I believe it's a good one. I researched it and from what I read, it seems to be a rare bottle. I'm hoping someone here can help me confirm this.
I recently dug my first Vermifuge bottle and then I dug a second the next day. The Dr. Fraga's is attributed too Key West I know but the other one I found is a different shape. I'm wondering if they are related in any way?
