Great dig in my book! Kicks ass on last 6 months of digging finds for me! My favorites are the Radway and the Ballard as they look super crude & funky. And I know how tough it is to find pontiled stuff that far west! Super nice going! Just don't tell the arkies! HA! Jack

PS- the Radway's apparently is a double misspelling. The abbreviation for 'according' should only have one "C" embossed and is the rarer of the variants......

The Radway looks kind of small...? Might it be a sample size? That would make sense then, for the missing letters trying to fit the embossing on a smaller size bottle. I would definitely go back to the sandy pit when it is safe to do so.

The Radway bottle is the standard small size...I have seen them with the corrected lettering (two c's in accord and the r in York). I got into one side of the sandy pit yesterday but it is definitely too wet. Will try again this summer. Pulled out a beautiful crude 3-mold amber whiskey and a few slick wines before the hole became quicksand.

That's the way, we say New York, down here. Great group of bottles!
