I always wished they would have the sale price on the sold bottles, it would be a great reference to everyone in the bottle world......Jim

I Agree Jim... I also wish they had some info on the bottlers themselves... I love the history of this stuff.

If I remember right the last on of these to sell was around $2500 Yours in the 4th one I have seen and they all seem to have been found in Civil war camp sites. And all seem to be shades of puce.

I wasnt really into boating or bar hopping. I'm more into hiking , mountain biking, canoeing, etc. I like the mountains. Frederick also has a nice historic downtown, something that didnt really exist in SO MD. I also wanted an old house to restore and they are tough to find down there.
I lived in VA before and dug relics for about 20 years there. Never dug in So MD for some reason.
The company I work for has thier main office in California MD so I go down there every so often.

Yeah I'm not much on that stuff either but i love being far enough away from the city that it's quiet but close enough that its not far to a wal-mart lol. There's some places to do some hiking and digging.... just got to find them. Wish I knew the first thing about finding a privvy... Theres a house in particuar that I would like to dig. Not to mention the housesites long gone in the middle of the woods. You're into canoeing? We go Kayaking every now and then. It's always a blast.
