Picked up Killer Rare Bottle.

[hemihampton]

Picked up this Rare Gem at Yesterdays Bottle Show. Unless your a Michigan Collector you might not be familiar with this Bottle. Even most Michigan Collectors are not familiar with this one or both of them. BUT, Picked up a Super Rare Fred Welsh from the small obscure Town of Oscoda in Northern Michigan. Old Lumber Ghost Town that Pretty much burned down in 1911. Pictured next to my Rare Goulait Oscoda Bottle. LEON.

Cool, but now I'm curious how many other bottling works a small obscure town would have supported? Haven't really thought about it before

Nice addition Hemi. Nothing like a ghost town bottle or a bottle show, total day maker.

Adding a Oscoda Bottle to your Collection or any Collection may be a pretty hard thing to do considering as far as I know there are only 2 (whole unbroken complete) Goulait Bottles known to exist & that Fred Welsh is the only whole one I know of to exist. I did dig a shard of the Welsh before, Pictured below. 2 Extremely Rare Bottles. Now I need the rare Au Sable Bottle to go with these 2. LEON.

P.S. The Goulait Probably dates to around late 1870's while the Welsh dates to around early 1880's to late 1880's.

I live in Oscoda now you can say there are 3 Goulait & son's bottle's known. I found this unbroken prime example about 12 years ago while looking for morel mushrooms 12yrs ago about 3mi from town. 12yrs ago I searched for info on this bottle couldn't find anything until I ran across this post yesterday.

I found it myself, hung on to it for 12yrs because I thought it was something good, pleased to see I might have 1 of 3.

Very Interesting. Good to know another one is out there (or maybe not) Curious, Did you find it on the surface out in the open or was it buried & you had to dig for it? Mine was Buried 4 feet below in a Privy. LEON.

Heres the Original post from 5 Years ago when I dug the first Goulait & other Gems. LEON.

Finally dug a good Privy this Year.

Me & Tom usually get out & dig about 10-20 Privy's a year but this year has been very slow. We only dug 2 Privy's. Found some good bottles but not alot of good bottles. found lots of common bottles not pictured. We Ventured farther north of our usual spots. The whole area is all sand being near...
