With all the bottles we have that are rare (think about it) and post here, we are like a freaken museum for posterity. I was thinking I better save this jpg just so I can have the picture in my collection. Then, I thought,... Why? Its here. Thanks for the post.

In your picture of the aqua ones, who made the one on the very right? I have one like it, but with the embossing erased from the mold. It's still there as little bumps, but I couldn't get a picture of it. I figured the war ended and they didn't want to throw the whole mold away, so they just made it blank.
Hey Kent, the bottle of mine that you refer to was most probably blown in Pittsburgh. It has strong embossment with a star design on the base. I have heard of "Ghosted" Hosp. bottles, but I have not seen one. The ones I have heard of were always the aqua pints or the wide mouth jars in the oval. That's pretty cool if you have one in the Quart. Kelley
Thanks Tom. That was Pitfinder's and my "Motherlode". We will never dig another pit like it here in the Panhandle of Texas. Besides the Hosp. bottles, a scarce turtle ink and a GEM BUTTER 5lb Jar came out of the same hole. Kelley
Hey Joel, we worked that place over for about 2 years. There are still some more pits out there but land owners changed and the new jerk won't allow anybody on his property. As much as I want to, I'm one of those guys that just won't hunt without permission. Kelley
