    western tooled fifth enclosure

    I'd say I am still a pretty novice collector, there is a lot of stuff I still haven't seen, this being one of them. I've seen this enclosure on many a beer, but not a whiskey! Is it just me, or is this odd to anyone else? Jesse More-Hunt she's a little bit lighter and some what...

    the picks from the dig

    nothing to special, i guess it makes since, when you're digging a hole where most everything is smashed, the likely hood of a particular bottle surviving.... I'm sure inks would rate high. the amber one is embossed with a pat. date on the front, and Bixby on the bottom, the locals meds...

    privvy dig

    Delta Digger and i were fortunate enough to be able to dig a privvy on his family's property, it was a long hot day and the flies were horrible! I cant say it was disappointment but it got to the point when ever a nice bottle was exposed we knew it would come out broken, close to 10 glob top...

    the glad hand

    well, here it is! this one here is sure different, its not glass but more like clay/pottery, shes a little chewed up, which is a little disappointing. my guess is its a little whiskey nipper, the glad hand? i imagine it was known as a handful of whatever was in it... not sure what the top...

    a few more from the last trip

    at home, hanging around the house, so i thought i would post some pictures of bottles from the last haul, hoping to get some feed back from the gang because they are all new to me. t.o.c. bottles i know, so I'm guessing they are all pretty common.... this one had so many barnacles on it...

    naval prison milk

    came across a person here in town with a few bottles for sale, her ex-husband is the big cheese for a large dredging and levee repair outfit. i guess he found the bottle out at mare island, the oldest naval base on the west coast. i have an option to buy but have no idea on the rarity of value...

    E. M. & Co. flasks. where from??????

    i have these pint size flasks, one i just picked up recently, which sparked my curiosity of the glass makers mark. The flasks themselves are different from every thing i have with their narrow strap seams, the two differ from each other also, as you can see in picture one. Any info would be...
