On Sunday my wife casually says to me "its Fathers day I dont care if you go digging" So a quick check of the tide app on the iphone tells me that high tide is around 7pm
I get an immediate text off to hunter2000(Dennis) of my 11th hour offer, he gets back to me he can go anytime. I then explain that high tide is at 7 but I have to have Fathers day dinner with my inlaws at 4 and that if I eat fast enough I can be there by 5
So long story short the inlaws arrive at 4, I look like the cookie monster eating Fathers day dinner,the wifes not impressed, but I'm in the hole by 5
First pic is my first Mellins and a Duffy malt whiskey co out of Rochester NY
I swear I'm going to call this the second chance dump. Last week right before I was chased out by the tide I dug a mellins with a big chunk broken off the lip. And 5 minutes prior to digging the Duffys I pulled one out and showed Dennis that the bottom was missing on it

The first one reads on the side 'van buskirks' other side reads 'fragrant sozodont' and the front reads 'for the teeth and breath'
The second bottle is a 'bubiers laxative sals' the back reads 'bubier laboratory co Lynn Mass'
I dug one of these in the past and currently use it as a quarter bank it holds about 27 dollars worth before I have to empty it out

Really nice! How many Portsmouth Apothecary bottles do you have? Is there anything you'd consider trading one for?

I like them all. I guess if I had to pick, it might be one that says "Apothecary" on it.
