Hi Jamie my friend! Great to hear from you too. Still pluggin along haven't attended show for the last couple of years,looks like i missed the boat in Baltimore,I love that Lyons with the label. I am slowly repeat slowly working on an article about Lyons and other insect powders so besides adding examples to my collection ,I am trying to gather reports on buggers(Lyons shaped only) that are unknown ,unlisted or that I have not seen. Of course ,there are many,I'm looking at at least 27 different companies and more surfacing all the time. I will give you one piece of conjectural information-Emanuel Lyons although the discoverer and inventor of the Famous "LYONS POWDER" may well have NEVER produced a glass bottle embossed or otherwise!!! I have alot of proof to back up this claim too.
I would sure like to see the Jacobs,was that bottle Lyons shaped? You may have told me before but I forget if you did. Thats got to be right up at the very top with MYERS destroyer,I recebtly bought the second one known(damaged) from my friend Tim who dug it himself,you can see pictures if you search Myers destroyer or my posts! Actually the third as the late great Mike Dolcini dug a very damaged one many years ago and I don't believe he saved the remanents. Totally differnt color like a Philly beer color and pontiled of course.From what we can gather Myers was a very unsuccessful competitor to Lyons and may have only lasted a year or two!
Anyway always nice to hear from you,please keep me in mind for the buggers! Best Regards,kev
