My First embossed Blobtop

[143Tallboy]

My digging buddy Dave and I were out yesterday at a dump he found last year. I had dug an unembossed blob there last year, he dug a couple of nice embossed green ones (all quarts)
Yesterday was our first outing of the season and within the first 30 minutes I dug this blob quart Chas Wilson Toronto with embossed squirrel. I think it's a tougher tall variant of this particular style. There's a crack in the lip but no glass missing.

Here it is beside the hole from whence it came

Cool bottle, congrats and good luck finding more. It's digging season

Is the squirrel facing left? I believe they are worth more than the ones facing right. Nice bottle..I have a Chas Wilson Hutchinson with the squirrel facing right.. common bottle but nice in the collection.

Nice to see the posts, we'll find lots this year, I guess you saw the pics I posted of the dump, I may get out this week!!

Keep you posted.

In this dump even the slicks are blob tops, I think it was the dump for the local taverns. All the slicks seem to be wines or whiskey.

Don't let Carobran see that squirrel, or your bottle is a "dead duck" ! LOL

Thanks everyone. I think the variant with the squirrel facing right is the scarce one, but I'm no expert on these bottles. I have 3 Wilson hutches and they're all facing left. Plus with all the digging at the Toronto waterfront I know these are probably fairly common but still I'm stoked to have dug one myself.
