Last Friday I found my first Christmas Coke while digging with an excavator at work. The next day I went digging with a buddy and I found a second one!
I've pulled quite a few Chas B Fogarty & Co. Druggist bottles in my day but this past weekend I pulled this one that says, Tyler & Fogarty, Druggists, Key West Fla on it. I tried doing some research to see if it was pre or post the others I've found but had no luck...
I just got this one last week and I believe it's a good one. I researched it and from what I read, it seems to be a rare bottle. I'm hoping someone here can help me confirm this.
I recently dug my first Vermifuge bottle and then I dug a second the next day. The Dr. Fraga's is attributed too Key West I know but the other one I found is a different shape. I'm wondering if they are related in any way?
I bought a collection from a local guy of 145 bottles and I'm only keeping the 21 Key West bottles. I can't seem to find any info on this one, can anyone help me with some history on it? It says ROEHLING & SCHUTZ, Inc. on it.
I can't seem to find any info or even a pic of this possible ink bottle. I found it while digging in old town Key West.
Been awhile, I hope the pic comes though!
I haven't posted since the site was changed over, life gets that way I guess. Anyways, I found this guy yesterday and I just have to show it off!!! I hope I can get this pic uploaded!! It's an El Champion soda & mineral water bottle from Key West.

My boss got some of the material that is being excavated from a new hotel site here in town. It's funny how this nasty stank black dirt is so unsuitable to build on but we as diggers want it BAD!! One mans trash is another mans treasure!! Here are the ones I pulled out today.

I'm going to be posting some bottles my buddy recently purchased from some KW diggers.
I'm not sure if he will let the embossed KW stuff go but everything I post will be for sale or trade!
You can either post here or PM me and I'll get you in contact with my buddy. Thanks!!!
