Let's see what everyone got for christmas. Was it a new digger, sifter or some sweet glass? I don't have the ability to post pics right now but I'll give you a small list that I found under my tree. I got a nice amythest violin that's almost 10" inches tall, a hand blown bird bottle with original liquer. It reads, "1/10 pint, artificially colored APRICOT LIQUEUR, 640 proof, imported by Briones & Co. Inc. Woodside, N.Y. " With the original cork and cork wrap. A "Valentines Meat Juice" with a flaw in the bottom of the bottle. A 10 gallon, black crown crock with a cork hole in the bottom of it, and a Dr Daniel's veterinary colic drops no.2 in sun colored purple. Oh yeah I got permission to hunt for bottles on a homestead from 1802. I just have to find the dump and dig with the woman's husband if I do find it. Oh well I think I can handle digging with a new digging partner. Providing I can find the dump. Jason

I didn't get anything "bottle'o" related for christmas but it was a great day, I'm off diving in an hour or so though so I will hopefully pull up my own christmas bottle [;)] .

Here's one I managed to reaquaint myself with after several years... Right after I sold it, I tried to get another one but the owner wouldn't budge on the price... When I joined this forum, I kept bugging everybody to see if anyone knew of one or had heard of it... No one had...

On Christmas Eve, the buddy I sold it to came by and I swapped him a quart Traveler's flask for my long lost New Orleans Wolfie...
