Broken dreams- two bottles that didn't make it

[alwayslearning]

Everyone has their thing. For me it's a safety issue having sharp broken glass items around the house. The one glass fragment I ever kept was this one from an Overholt pint flask. Because I found it about 100 yards from the distillery.

Hi do you know info on that piece. I found something similar but cant find any info about it.

While looking in a creek bed yesterday after high waters had receded, I found two bottles that were intact enough to still be readable, but not worth taking home because of the damage. I believe they are from early 1900's. The Gordon's Dry Gin bottle looks like it's fine in the photo but it has big piece of glass missing on another side. See this posting for a Pittsburg Coke bottle that did make it.

Two of the most common bottles a digger will find. Shouldn't be a problem replacing them.
