You can keep some of the people happy some of the time but you can't keep all the people happy all of the time.[:D]

I'm relatively new here, but my opinion is you have no case officer. Everyone's opinion is valued, and try not to take all of them to heart. I may get into some trouble for this but... Even the best manners are strained by pride!----From an 1872 newspaper. Mitch

I think the best option is to give California back to Mexico. [attachment=anti_california_gi...2202_wio57_324.jpg]

Great to see California law enforcement is making a difference in this criminal industry.An item of this quality should be in a museum and the felon prosecuted to the full extent of the law.Being aware of the overcrowding in the states prison system perhaps a current inmate could be pardoned.Maybe a child molester or thrill killer anyone less dangerous to the world population than this bottle minded maniac!This type of crime must not be tolerated

It is amazing how it becomes important all of a sudden when it has been taken out of the ground..other wise the item would never been seen or cared about by "HISTORICAL PEOPLE" MAN it would be a drag to go to jail over a 50 cent bottle just because it was over 50 years old ..or even 100 years old...bottle diggers should be thanked for digging up the past and they take care not to damage any thing...if it was left up to just "HISTORICAL PEOPLE" so very many item would never see the light of day...why don't they dig up the privies or dumps if they care so much..are they just lazy or will only do it if they get pad to do???If that is the case they don't really care all at much do they? I am in no way knocking the POLICEMAN for doing his job...just knocking the people behind it all..what a waste of man/woman power and money!!That should be a crime with in itself!! JAMIE

Hello!

I'm new to this website, my first post. I found this site by Googling: W.J. Latchford Glass Co. - This thread came up in the results. This is hilarious - First, I want to thank cbeehner for this thread. Turns out the bottle in question is the same as the one I was trying to research. Thanks also to glassman for identifying the type of container and approximate age.

I am a real estate agent in San Francisco, Calif.....and I've been clearing two vacant lots in preparation for selling. These lots have been sitting empty since.......forever! No structures were ever built. So besides being overgrown with trees, bushes, etc.....there has been a lot of stuff, garbage....and glass bottles...though mostly broken. BUT....I have found some interesting bottles still intact! One of which is a bottle like the one mentioned here, but the numbered markings above and below the logo on the bottom of the bottle are 74 (above) and 5 (below). Also, on the base of the bottle, just above the mold seam there is the Circle L logo of the manufacturer and the number 6.

That's all for the moment. I'll post again soon, I have one bottle I've been researching. It's an Owens Illinois post prohibition bottle. Thanks!

Gray
