you might be on to something. If I do try it, I will post some pics. I'm guessing with a broken top it has no real collector value so what could it hurt, right?
What about the clay jug? All I know about it is that Douglass Co. became Gladding & MacBeam.
Here is the whole lot found in the hole (with the exeption of the paper labeled Scott's cod liver oil which was given by a freind). They all seem to be around the same era, I think? You tell me.
thank you Jim and Matt for the correction. Ok I now have a broken "crown top" CCBW Los Angeles bottle. It was my favorite of the few complete bottles from that hole (down the street from Union Station and across the street from DWP, Downtown LA). Are these post 20th century? What should I expect...
OK then, what was it? I'm going by memory as i don't have any photos before it broke. but i do recall a blob top of some sort finish or am i thinking of another bottle that broke completely and is long gone? I'm sorry for calling it a hutch but that's what i thought it looked like. (Hence the...
Advantages / disadvantages? not worth it? Please help! I have a coca cola bottling works Los Angeles that was intact when dug (mid 80s). I've read these can be susceptible to damage and time and storage have not been good to her. My research found only one other that sold for just over $100 in I...

Maybe some of you have already seen this, maybe some of you have not. i wish i would have read this before purchasing a "truly sick" bottle. (at least that's what i think i have based on this article).

This just needs to be shared. Thank you...
does anyone have any infomation on a bottle like this (ebay photo)? History? What company (s)? What it was used for? value? Thanks

Mine arrived today (7-16-12) in great shape, box survived the trip just fine. What an Awesome book! Helpfull, informative and great photos too, a "must have" resource item. Thanks again Matt.
THANK YOU Red Matthews! And to all bottle vets out there on this site! Just some more kudos from another nubie. Thank you for helping and making us feel welcome. (well, aside from the "coating" incedent) All is Good!!! Thanks again.
