"Nice amount of whittle" ??? You, Sir, are a master of understatement. And I've never seen that base treatment,,,, and with a pontil no less. Congratulations. Plus that HOPKINS UNION BITTERS is no slouch.

Thanks guys. I tried to get some bigger items early bug they just weren't there. Really pleased to get all of the bottles. And the lime green perfume is the same size as a teal one I dug many moons ago.

Last one. I dug the teal one many years ago. I have dug many more expensive bottles but this one is cherished.

Capsoda and Maine were supposed to come down for a dig in an old mill town local to me. They had to cancel due to issues getting down here. I decided to dig anyway. This was a poor mill town, so not a lot of colors in the dumps. This one was found from the top down. Wiggling it all the way to see if it was whole. One of the best bottles I dug.

And I had been following this one green perfume for a few years. Finally they are together.

Nice gets Ben! I Like that New London soda, the pontil steal and the lady's leg best. What's the paper lable Cordial?

Nice pair of green utility perfumes (I think you should name them Warren & Wayne[8|])

Finally they are together.......

Since I got the pontil at such a good price I didnt much haggle on the $20 for this bad lady. Sm lip chip. Nothing horrid.
