Guilmette's Extract of Juniper

[downeastdigger]

I've been diving a fair amount lately , mostly solo, a couple with Chuck or Kevin, which is more fun. I've found some good stuff, no great stuff, but enough to pay for the gas and air for the day.
Chuck stopped by with a couple of great ones that I wanted to pic and post on here. He showed me this, and I thought it was a C.A Richards, it is from an identical mold, but it is embossed "DR. GUILMETTE'S EXTRACT OF JUNIPER BOSTON". Pretty rare bottle, I love it. Chucks not in love with it, not his cup of tea, he likes the older older stuff. I just love that word Juniper I guess.
Great bottle in great condition, had to give him a high five on that one

He also got this great strap sided flask. He is in love with this one :] It's a great color you never see in a flask like this. It's the color of a Swaims Panecea, with lots of bubbles.

Wow. I love it, Bram! That is a wild one. Pontiled? Either way, that is a treasure! We used to have Juniper bushes growing at my grandparent's house. I know that's part of what they make Gin out of. Guess your taste for Gin depended on whether you could stomach this medicine or not. I'd like to know more about your bottle.

This picture came out great, super bubbly. Wonder where it was blown, I'm thinkin a mid East coast glass house, or maybe Lyndeborough, as they seem to have manufactured some great colored stuff from this period, although their glass was usually free of impurities/bubbles etc.

I went in a grabbed 3 strap sided flasks from my dug collection, which are in some nice scarce shades. Thought they looked great together. I told Chuck he really should give me that olive green one to complete the set for me. He said he'd think about it :]

These were my best find of the past couple of weeks. A matching pair of star and thumbprint fluid lamps. They are both about perfect, I can't imagine just throwing them in the river because you don't need them any more. Cant figure that stuff out. They were pretty much side by side in the mud. I could see the outline of one, and the corner of the base of the other, just laying almost side by side in the silt, a few feet from the river bank. pretty crazy. I put them on Ebay, cause they're not what I collect. We'll see how they go.

Nice pattern.

Thats all I got for pics.

Gorgeous weather here in New England. Didn't get wacked by the tornadoes we had in the area. Brimfield got creamed, thank God the big antiques flea market wasn't this week, it would have been even more devistating

Happy diggin
