Here's my entry: a small slick med with some crack in it.. got it in a box of freebies from a guy at the paint store...

Heres mine. Excellent condition Hover Phila master ink.Open pontil, teal, whittled.It had about an inch of ink dried up in the base, so I know it was sitting on a shelf for a very long time.It`s my favorite bottle I got this year.[][]

Pontil and whittle.

That is one awesome bottle. I dug one of those this year and of all places in my own backyard, but unfortunately, it was broken. I do have all the pieces though. It is pontiled and whittled just like yours. It looks to be the same size as yours too. How tall is yours? Great score

Here is one of my favorite acquisitions of 2009...

A Stoddard "HOLMAN'S NATURES GRAND RESTORATIVE" in honey amber!

Only a couple known examples... this beauty is loaded with bubbles!!

I never thought I would ever one of these... had to get good and drunk before buying it... worry about "the pain" later! []
