Detroit Iron Pontiled Soda

[143Tallboy]

I picked up this Calnon & Cronk IP squat a couple of weeks ago at a farm auction. How it got up here, I have no idea, but the price was right:


CALNON & CRONK/MINERAL WATER/DETROIT//BOTTLES RETURNED

Thanks guys, it is a nice one and I can't take a good picture of a bottle to save my life. The white stuff is actually on the inside and there are just 2 small fleabites, one on the lip and one on the side near the base. It does not look to have been buried, the glass is nice and shiny. It's a really crude old bottle and there is what looks like a small rectangular slug plate or repair on the embossing at the front between Mineral Water and Detroit.

Hey Chris, get it outside in the sun. Have the sun behind you, and I think you will find you can get a better picture.

I dug two in the past year or so. One, I traded. The other I sold to a friend for $200.00
