I know it's nothing too special or valuable, but I have been wanting to dig one of these whole for a very long time and finally did! One of those bottles that you really enjoy finding and keep for a very long time, despite the lack of embossing, scarcity, etc... This one is just all about the love of digging old glass and appreciating a nice looking hand-blown bottle. [:D]

Congratulations on a neat find, never dug one myself. Your sentiments capture the true essence of bottle digging / collecting IMHO.

Never dug a whole one either . Got in a small dump years ago . I Everything in it looked like it was intentionally broken . I counted around fifty case gins , all broke . That's a good find , everyone needs at least one !
