    Pontil mark?

    It looks like a sand Pontil to me, but, I don’t see too many of them. Let’s see what others have to say. Nice looking bottle. Go here for a great article on pontils. https://sha.org/bottle/pontil_scars.htm

    Rare Utah can added to my collection!

    Thanks and I agree. Did you notice the reflective dots inside of the DUCK-BACK lettering? That’s something I’ve never seen on any can.

    looking to for an answer

    Nothing is a huge amount of money. I’d bet $10 is tops in a few jars and the brown beer bottle. I’ve given lots of flowers as gifts using old bottles as the vase!

    C.1870 Utah drugstore with a snake on pestle

    Showing you all my newest, and oldest embossed Utah bottle. About 5” tall with a Square body. I love the snake wrapped around the Rod of Ascepius! Here’s a photo of them I found from the historical society (the UDSH) from 1860 in front of their crude business. This one is c. 1870 I.M.opinion.

    Rare Utah can added to my collection!

    I got lucky and got this, what I think, is the earliest Utah oil can yesterday. From either 1908 when the company was founded or 1909 when it was sold to UTOCO. This may be the only known example! I had goose bumps for an hour!

    Privy diggers in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico

    Are you still digging there? I'd love to join ya one day. We drive down there and camp just North near Little Moab many times all year long.

    welp, I just had literally the most successful day in bottle hunting I've ever had.

    And walking distance from home! Great finds! I like your style of writing and keeping the post alive with each new chapter of it!

    Ball Jar with Misprint question

    Nice one. I don’t have the red book either but I’d bet there’s a canning jar group on Facebook. I guess your bottle isn’t Perfect after all!

    Snowflake and Simmons Nabob whiskey

    You’re probably right Leon. Old eyes on a little phones screen. Luckiest digger on the planet. I guess I’ll delete this post. It just seems to good to be true and trying to look out for someone. Can't figure how to delete so I just edited the original post.

    Stricklands Wine of Life

    I like this alot! What’s the value on something like that. No sales r ecords I assume so best guestimate will suffice.

    Pontil or smooth base

    I hear ya on the blue collar comment. I'm with ya on that. I'm continually scouring the net for people that list items incorrectly so I can afford what I really want! ie: Someone on here found an awesome cathedral pickle on ebay listed in the flower vases category and stole it! I found an...

    Pontil or smooth base

    You Savannah dwellers have neat colored bottles! I’m curious why some of you have stated you only collect Ryan’s instead of all? Here’s my only Savannah, a Henry Lubbs in a peacock green.

    What’s this type of historical flask called?

    That's the style where the neck looks like it has "oozed" onto the body? I don't see many historical flasks in Utah so pardon my ignorance.
