Robby Raccoon
Trash Digger
At a totally junk estate sale, just as I was walking out the door, I saw this on a side-stand.
Upon seeing what it was, I was amazed!
A Dr. Roback's Stomach Bitters, here?
So I eagerly went to pick it up....
And the whole thing it was on came up with it, knocking other stuff over that was atop the slag-glass thing it was stuck to.
Confused, I looked at how it was stuck-- and to my horror, it was soldered with lead flux!
I wasn't sure it was real, though its condition certainly looked dug.
Inspecting the top, I noted it was an applied top on a very real bottle-- so WHY was it soldered on!?
Turning it upside down, it was even worse than my fears lead me to think...:
Yes, this pic is through the bottom looking up-- or, rather, lack of a bottom.
Is there any value in this though it's now broken and soldered to a slag-glass decorative-- uh, stand?
