RE: Gold Dust fifth

Three Grange flasks and seven 5ths is DAM impressive. I bet you never let your eyes off the non-ABD houses in that area.

Well, there's only ONE left that is totally virginal. Most are now covered by parking lots and buildings. The area also has produced Angeli flasks and Snowflake fifths. Sort of a bottle "anomaly" for SacTown.

They also come from other areas in California besides Sacto.

RE: Gold Dust fifth

Yes, the color does look similar. Mine is a very light yellow- green-citron- with lemon marmalade, and papaya highlights. Very whittled and crude with swirls and candy striped striations with a touch of bubblishishnous. Does that seem close? I am hungry now...gotta run.

God, that's exactly how I'd describe the crudity of mine ! The color is probably spot on considering the photo makes it appear more amber.

RE: Gold Dust fifth

Whew, the only flasks I have are mainly clear glass pumpkinseeds and coffins...and a box full of SF dandies. These "rare" Western colors are killing me. Great stuff even if it is of possibly dubious rarity.[8D] Depending on your neighborhood, of course. Knew a guy up in Redwood City that rowed out in the local Baylands and found 2 or 3 aqua Gold Dust fifths along with a pair of Old South Park Statuary druggists.Clear Gold Dust up currently - closes in 2 days; 1 hour - high bid stands at $1,025.07.
