Baltimore Pontiled Pickle

[PrivyCheese]

Dug a nice early pickle yesterday. Shame it was broke into piesces. I glued what I could back together. It is embossed Baltimore on one panel and Wm Bodmann on the oppisite side. Has a huge pontil.For a Baltimore guy like myself this would have been top shelf!

As far as I know there is only one known intact example of this pickle.

Not many would have taken the time to keep and reconstruct the pieces. Looks good to me and WOW, did you know that it was that RARE when you saved it? There's got to be a whole one lurking around somewhere. It always amazes me how the great bottles somehow show up broken and the commons are whole. Maybe that is just perception though. I do find a lot of broken commons and am thankful that they were't something better. Great save at any rate.

DANG!!! What a MONSTER!! No complete examples? There's one from out here in SF that's pontiled and embossed "Baker & Cutting" on one side, and "Glass & Pickle Manufacturers" on the other. Full bore cathedral panels, too. To date, 1 whole example, and it's aqua. Killer pieces abound in wild colors, but no whole ones. Keep pounding that neighborhood, you might score one yet.
