Hey Dave, agreed on the variety of colors. It seems that they had no quality control and just mixed up whatever they felt like when they were blowing a bunch of bottles. See the photo of my red rooster. I am a buyer of a dog in this color.
Separately, if you found dogs and man gins with...
Hey Dave, I remember the rifle range you mentioned. Was out there with a couple of friends when we came across some glass. Would have gone back to dig but an MP chased us off of it. Did not need to get into any trouble back then so did not go back! I also dug along Culebar and Gorgona, which...

Hey Dave, I attached a couple pictures of the red dog and rooster bottle. It also goes deep red. These are the colors I am interested in adding to my collection.

I know both the J.J.W. Peters Dog bottle and Sociedad Vinicola Rooster on a Bicycle bottle well. Have a dozen or so Dog bottles and three Rooster on a Bicycle bottles. The oval Dog bottle contained bitters while the case gin Dog bottle contained gin. Assume that the Rooster on a Bicycle...
