This was probably the best bottle I ever owned, but I sold it soon after I acquired it - I needed the money to put toward my daughter's college tuition payments in early 2010. I posted this same photo on another thread about another Pike's Peak that I was wondering about the value of. I might sell that one soon also.

Hey all
Heres one I have not posted in awhile .While not my best in money wise .It will be hard to find another .There are like 7 that I know that have been found 5 which were together found in a home in RI.1 on the ocean floor and this one that I dug from the banks of the Ohio river.Seems there were only 500 of these made for this trip to the Antarctic.Byrd Antarctic Expedition 1928-1929.

thats a great historic item but you need a better story. Found in the stomach of a killer whale seems more exciting.

First thanks for the comments .Yea Matt wish I had some great story to tell of how I come to find it .I still often wonder how a bottle that was made to be use to collect samples in and to do drift calculations with on an Antarctic expedition ended up in a river bank in Kentucky .I've looked for ties to this area other than the bottle being made with in several hundred miles from here in northern Ohio by the OWENS bottle co .But have found nothing.
Thanks agian .

Beautiful flask. I'd be missing that one too.

Cool thread. That vet pharmacy is a beauty, sandchip.
I don't have anything rare. This Congress & Empire from Saratoga NY is probably in the top 3.
