    Hiltons essence of peppermint

    This is the ink When I first looked at it i thought might be English. Can't really explain why I thought that. very thick, appears free blown, pontil looks like a crude blowpipe, originally thought it was glass tipped but I hadn't even cleaned it up.

    From a privy in Rens. Cty NY

    Hi cookie Nice bottles. Was wondering if you were local to the Tri-Cities or have been to any of the Capital District bottle Club meetings. A few months ago at a meeting I was looking at an ad for Thomas cream Nector but I can't remember the specifics. If you are interested, I can probably...

    Hiltons essence of peppermint

    Deepblue, thanks for responding. The bottle for now isn't going anywhere, just to many unanswered questions. Like everyone else, I enjoy finding something weird and different, and I'd like to make time to do some of my own research. Iv'e always said if there's one embossed bottle out there...

    Hiltons essence of peppermint

    Having issues posting pictures. Had four, here is one of the front of the bottle with the Hiltons embossing. The ink I thought was English was probably premature on my part and I had not really looked at it that good, plus some good information from another collector. It is actually free blown...

    Hiltons essence of peppermint

    I am thinking evidence would lead to it being English. In that same layer was a cone ink, pontiled,a different aqua color than you normally see, that when it first came out I just put it on the top of the hole. When I went to clean it you could see the pontil was not the typical ring or tubular...

    Hiltons essence of peppermint

    Greetings. Posted this the other day in another topic that may not be getting much activity so I thought I'd go to the pontils only forum. I opened up an 1850's privy the other day and found one I have never dug before. At this time I will assume it is British and it certainly appears to be a...

    American Digger Show

    The American Digger show was indeed the best comedy/fiction show I have seen on TV in years. I guess I was not the only one to note that they were not evan in a privy, they just dug a random hole. Not to worry, can not see the show lasting more than one season, if that. If it does, than...

    Hey Randy & Mark, nice to hear you are thinking of the Saratoga show ! Yea, the date change will result in loosing some dealers for this years show, but I have never seen it when a gathering of bottle collectors and diggers didn't result in a good time ! Look forward to seeing you both. Roy
