10-sided Evansville, IND Blob? Info Please?

[daeldred]

We found this pretty sweet 10-sided blob soda from Evansville, IND. There is not a lot to tell except that it is aqua and is 10-sided. It is embossed with A.B. & CO. // EVANSVILLE // IND. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it common or what?

Looks like a good bottle but could you clean that thing up?

And wash those hands, young man, before you set foot in this house!

This privy was the nastiest privy we have ever dug. There was about 4' of oily mud. It stunk real bad, too. Great bottles though!. We couldn't get any picutres of clean bottles, because it was below freezing and and the mud was impossible to get off. It was like digging in the La Brea Tar Pits!! Check out the story on the link below.

Yeah we like to tell our story when we can. We found this 10-sided blob and were pretty excited. We don't know much about Indiana bottles, so we didn't know what we had. I think this one might go upwards of $50. We just don't see many paneled blobs here in Memphis and something like that with Memphis on it would be real good.
