Hey all, Cindy ask me awhile ago to post the USA Hosp. Dept. bottles that I dug a few years ago. Haven't had a good camara in awhile so I put her off. Here you go Cindy. I hope some more of you enjoy as well. I was lucky enough to dig all but 3 of these. I bought the smallest cobalt, and 2 of the small clear ones. I apologize to those of you who have seen some of these before. Kelley

My Aqua's. Note the difference in the arched USA and the straight line USA in the Quarts. The arched is somewhat more scarce.

Hey Kelley, That is a great collection of USA Hosp Dept bottles. I don't think anyone would get tired of looking at them.

God Kelly, what a collection!! What a find!! I had no idea you had so many and found so many in one dig. Where were you? I mean I don't need a grid coordinance but what state did you did those in.

I am quite impressed. No.... Very impressed. I am looking at about $7-10 thousand dollars worth of glass.

I didn't see one US Med Hosp bottle at the NE show. I was specifically looking for them. Any auctions going on with any of the colored ones let me know, eh?

Thanks Cap and Joel.
Joel, These were dug at an Indian wars fort in the Panhandle of Texas. The amazing thing is I had a diggin buddie and he took home as many as I did. He has the super scarce 3" Black Amythyst. All twenty something were found in 4 pits within 100 yards of each other. Needless to say, we found the hospital dump. Here is my U.S.A. Med'l Dept. bottle. I bought this one and though they don't command as high a price as the Hosp. bottles, they seem to be as scarce as hens teeth! I hope you hang on to the one you've got. Kelley

That is a given... they will need to pry it from cold dead fingers. I am looking for more. I would love to get into the PA and Baltimore glass house records to see how many were produced. there must still be more out there to find.

Wow Kelley - Fantastic!! I love those bottles!! I really like the wide mouth aqua, and of course all of the colored ones. Did you find the two with stoppers with those stoppers in them, or did you just put those in afterwards? What color is the one in the first pic with the white stopper - deep, dark green??
Sure wish I could have gotten that one at the Horse Soldier! Oh well, maybe it was just as well - more money for my mineral waters!
Now - you need to post pictures of your pumpkinseed flasks for me! I'll be waiting....

Thanks Jim. These bottles are to me as the poisons are to you. I appreciate all old glass but these just hold a special place in my heart. I would love to start a lattice poison collection also.

Hey Cindy, glad you liked it![;)] Yes, those 2 bottles with the stoppers were dug with the stoppers. Pretty cool huh? The green pint of which you speak is what I call a forrest green. No olive, no amber, just pure green. Some refer to it as a deep emerald green. I'll get some pics of the pumpkin seeds out sometime.[:D] Kelley
