Earlier this year i was walking around at the dump, looking in all the nooks and cranny's to see what i could find. A lot of the junk is not covered up you see. Well
I picked up this piece of what looked to me like duct pipe about 2 feet long and very rusty and some what crushed on one end. I walked by this pipe a hundred times.
Guess what was inside of it.....a beautiful olive green James Buchanan whiskey bottle from Glasgow Scotland. I was so excited. Not that its rare or anything, i just never
found anything like it. It has the federal law forbids the sale or reuse of this bottle on it so must from 1933 to 1964 I think. It has a bump on the neck and heel. Wondered
what the bumps are for? Anyway this bottle was a keeper for me. Any thoughts or comments?

I see a lot of Federal law bottles with them dots. Pretty large to be vent dots but I'm not sure. One of our glass house members would know.[;)]
