I bet you thought you just got lucky.[]

Here is the Dr Townsend I won in the AB&GC 2012 writing contest. I have never dug a "whole" one of these baby's but I was lucky enough to dig some cool colored pieces over the years.

Thank's to John Pastor for this beautiful first place prize. Now I have a whole one! []

Beautiful bottle I found one in a house about ten years ago but it had the weak embossing. I ended up selling it that is one heck of a prize to win congrats!

Congratulations! That is a beautiful bottle, and a great prize. I have only found shards as well.

Congrats, Townsend's are great bottles. I hear a New England guy is trying to catalog all the different molds.

Real nice Rick! Good for you. Please keep your stories coming. I always enjoy reading them.

Hey Rick I am Travis the Townsends was pontiled. It had a sand chip pontil, it also had a weird mold mark on one corner. I really do not know how to explain it. The guy who bought it new exactly what mold it was. Townsends and Wisharts are really cool bottles you could build a killer collection off either one of those. By the way I really like the purple flask you dug, will you be at Baltimore?

What purple flask? I dug that so long ago I "almost" forgot about it []
