Best bottle I ever dug and Sold was this poison. I have dug others that sold for less or were far less valuable... yet I consider them "Better" for one reason or another. Whenever I dig privies with multiple diggers and we do a Pick, I NEVER pick based on value. Just because something is worth More does not make it better or Rare. I always pick with my gut and chose the most Unusual things that I see coming out of holes.

Poison bottle is now in one of the Largest American Poison Collections! :)

Not a bottle but a very historically significant piece of pottery! It also had a hole in it that we repaired.

lil digger..............Here's my favorite dug bottle....It is embossed W. D. Smith N. Y.....The bottle has a huge open pontil, heavy whittle & is a deep emerald green. This bottle is less in monetary value then others I have dug...but is by far my favorite. This is California Gold Rush at it's best!!!!

Thanks for this thread....I hope others will step forward with their "best" bottle.

Lysol put these during the Bicenntennial right, looks like yours has the lip broken off though...too bad it doesn't have the lip intact like this beautiful example...
