I would like to know info on the R.I. druggist and how old whiskey the wiskey dates. These were found in a 1840s-1920s era dump. It was used over a long period of time!

Nice finds PDC! Congratulations on your first pontil, I have found 3 of those aqua whiskey types in all my years, they dont go for much but I love them for their crudeness and overall whittle. If I were to put an age to it I would be inclined to say 1850-1870. You should PM RI Bottleguy about your pharmacy bottle. The pipe is cool too red clay. I would dig that area (carefully) until you are certain you left nothing in the ground. Good luck!! Kevin
