Well,...today was really great. Penn Digger (Tom) and I headed out early (around 6:30a.m) to the Rochester NY bottle show...I drove up,...traffic was light and we made great time,...Tom drove on the way home and we hit some real desolate backroads, and found some really old stone farm foundation ruins to dig at a later date, went thru some ancient towns, (We even scored a privy permission from a woman that owned an 1840's era two story stone house, and offered to let us come back this summer and dig.) So,...we also got to see some old friends, (One guy I hadn't seen since 1974...) make some new friends, and soak in all the great glass and bottles, while picking up some deals! Cazdigger (Mark) was there with some real nice bottles on his table, and an awesome "Privydiggers nightmare" display that made my stomach drop when I looked whithin and realized how it must have felt to dig those amazing criers....Mark also, (as always) was super knowledgable and kind, and even had a bottle he brought for me from a small town I used to live in, that I was unaware of till last year, when Mark told me that it even existed...Thanks Mark!

A class act, Cazdigger is. All these things and more combined to make it a great day. Here's some pics.

This was the line by the time they opened up...I took this from about the halfway point where we were.

There was some amazing displays from the local club...I snapped these w/ Stauton Dan in mind, since he recently dug and posted one of these bottles, (understandably) thinking it was a master ink.

* Strangely, I came home with mostly flasks today,...usually it meds, although I have a sub collection of flasks. The quality, variety and price were too good to pass. Here's one I only wish that I could have afforded! My new favorite....to put on my "someday" list. This was supposedly 'found' on a mossy rock in the woods,...as is!

It's NOT aqua....more of a light forest green.

Other side. Can anyone tell me what GV number this flask is,...and what glass house it came from?
