I hope that you guys are seriously plowing those MO towns. Those are great bottles.

Not only is that Pilot Knob Bottle rare, but if fits both my Missouri bottle collection and my Missouri civil war Collection.


And well, that Ph. Lorenz is just near mint.

It's a good day to be a Bottle collector in Missouri.

Google Earth shows Pilot Knob to be a small town with what appears to be a number of 19th Century homes. Very appealing, digging wise. Don't know if you Missourians dig, but you surely should.

Pilot Knob's population was 697 in 2000! That's a small town if I've ever seen one. The bottle from there must be really rare. Dig it all up, I say!

I have some just as RARE coming in the next few days. I got some beauties!!!

If I could Dig any town in Missouri, it would be Cape Girardeau, or Illmo. I want an Illmo Natural Spring water Bottle so bad I can't stand it. I live in that town, and i had one when i was a kid and a guy cheated me out of it because I didn't know what I had.

I have some super RARE bottles, but i want the Illmo Bottle more than any other.

Caldigr2,

There's nothing more I would like to do than dig some of these old small towns. The best city dump I ever had was in Allenville Mo., but some out of towner bought the land and wont let anyone on the land anymore.

I wish I could get in on a Missouri dig, nobody loves old bottles more than me.
