Welcome to the site and happy hunting. That is an awsome collection of flasks. Must have taken a while to get all of those. This is one of my relatives clasped hands flask with e wormser embossed
Awsome, cleaning 1500 bottles must have taken a while. I occasionally like to walk fields in search of artifacts but haven't had much luck. I usually like snorkeling the eel or tippecanoe river and have found some nice blobs and hand blown bottles doing that. Haven't done much on the three...
I created this post to document any bottle with warsaw/winona ind embossing. If anyone has any images of bottles or variation of bottles or any info feel free to post here. Thanks again
Thanks for the reply. Some of these are from mikes collection when we met, and the sphyers mineral water hutch was a picture I took at the k County jail museum.
This bottle has some interesting attributes. It is a 4 piece mold, applied finish.
His saloon and beer vault were located at the modern day 110 craft meatery in Warsaw Ind(great place to eat and I highly recommend)

Yeh I have extract bottles and the garrett and co virginia wine bottle ive dug to. The art deco soda has a 9 owens illinois glass mark 9 so I think 1939 or 29 after the merge. Thanks for the replies
