Appears to b dark amber. Has "0" on the base, saw the same on the bay, with the lip busted. seam stops 1 inch from lip.
must b why i like the other one 'cuase of the whittle. Does no show great in the pic there. I would have been happy digging it, and can't beat finding for free!
The building the came out of was rented as an antique store years ago, so I think that is where the bottles came from. Some had price tags on them half scratched off. Wonder what kind of price they tried on this repro...?

Not the same as digging bottles out of the ground. Knowing no one has seen them for 100+ years... [;)] Still neat to look over in the dark corner of an 1800's building basement, and see... bottles! [:)]
I have been selling slicks, other bottles at my friend's shop, filled with sweet pea...

Now I am late for work... so here is a group shot
The flask in back must be...
This spring i had pawed around in the rock embankment dump a bunch of times. With little to nothing to show.

Nice embossed blob, says "Property of Rochester Brew. Co. Boston Branch 95"

Got these about 15 min before dark, so maybe there is a few more there?
Was pumped to get...
I walked around a property today that has an old cellar hole. The area i was in has many old cart paths that can b hard to follow, as there r many downed trees. With no plan for digging, i was not prepared for any finds...
Should have had the camera but like i said was not into it. Just...
Hey Joe...
You reaffirmed what I have been thinking for a while... This is a GREAT group of people on this forum! I have found people on here to be very well educated about our... addiction! I have been a member of other various forums, but it is evident that people on here know...
My sweet heart brought this home from a yard sale last summer. She got 2 of them for 5 bucks..[:)] I need to make some small stands for the round bottoms we have! Never thought about it... but SHE had started coming home w/ bottles before me!! [:)]
