Bugs and a Pontil

[Jim]

Here are a few things that I bought today after work. I couldn't turn them down for ten bucks each. First is a nice pontiled Jayne's Expectorant. Common, as far as pontiled medicines, but it was one that I did not have.

Nice, deep pontil with very visible hinge mold line.

Next is an early smooth-base Costar's bug powder bottle. This one has a wicked "fin" of glass protruding from the mold seam on the right side.

 

[Jim]

A shark would be proud of this fin! It's amazing that these things survive without breaking off.

More bugs, this is the small, three-ounce version of the Victory Chemical Co. Quick Death bottle, complete with embossed creepy-crawlers at the top. These bottles are scarce in this small size.

Hopefully, the weather will be decent at least one day this weekend so Rob and I can dig the pit that we have lined up. This buying bottles stuff costs money []. I'm not complaining, it was a good deal for three cool bottles that I did not have. ~Jim
