I live in Northern Michigan, and for some strange reason, have dug a few western bottles. We dug two DR VINCENT'S ANGEL OF LIFE from San Fransisco, and a friend dug a broken one about 40 miles north of me, and yet another was dug in Cadillac about 30 miles south of me. Not bad for a pretty rare western med. I also dug two square amber GUN WA'S CHINESE REMEDYS, I think those are from Colorado. Lastly, Paul Bata and I dug two early very crude cobalt cylinders embossed on the shoulder GWH that I was told were from Wyoming and blown at Pacific Glassworks in 1869, I think the one who gave me the info was Mike McNeil. It does fit with where we dug the GWH, the pit was in the yard of a federal land agent who had traveled to Wyoming in his job capacity about that time. I still feel it is amazing that these bottles made it here in Northern Michigan as we are not in any direct travel paths for east to west. I also find it kind of weird that all three of my western bottles came in pairs....Bill
