Best New Orleans Bottle

[madpaddla]

So my wife and I are heading to New Orleans this spring. I peeled through my collection and found two sodas from there. I was wondering if folks had other pics of New Orleans area bottles? For it being such a large city and old, you would think there would be some beautiful glass.

I have found that many of their bottles are pretty beat up b/c of the environment down there. They often have a lot of wear and dings.

I wondered about the affects of the high water table on bottles in the ground so long. In our area we also have acid soil.
I was going to ask some of the New Orleans diggers a the Jackson show but it does not seem that they will be answering many questions.
I still have not given up on finding the privies here in my yard but the ground water level is even with the surface of the soil right now and has been since the end of Dec.

Madpaddla Ben,

I attended more than my fair share of Mardi Gras festivities before getting the bottle bug. Hope you find some treasures post MG. Will we see you in Baltimore?
