Here's a very rare "Whitwell's Liquid Improved Opodeldoc"

Open Pontiled in a clear glass, rare. Maybe unlisted.

Here's my favorite find.
A Stoddard "Farley's Ink", open pontil, extremely rare in olive/amber color.

Hi Woody

Great bottles! I especially like the Farley Ink - what a sweet color. The Opodeldoc is a nice bottle as well. I have two different sized Ammoniated Opodeldoc bottles put up by S. C. Knight of South Berwick, Maine. The label says it's good for: fresh burns and freezes, contracted cords, lame stomach, ague in the face, spinal affections, etc. - opodeldoc was quite a medicine!

Woody alright! Did you use the detector to find that spot? Also Im wondering if that Cottons could be a misspelled Coltons Extract which Ive dug before-it looks like one. That pipe is very cool to.Those type of spots are so great cause you never know what'l pop up-must have been a blast.Btw-Steve Gadd goes to the coffee shop I frequent in the city,not that I know him.

Wow, Steve Gadd. He 's an awesome drummer.
You must live in the Rochester, N.Y. area.

I always use my metal detector when I go out looking for bottles.
It doesn't miss much.

[] Dear Woody,
I read with a great deal of interest you posts about the old farm dump. Lots of interest! I only wish that the dump I "frequent" held such promise. Unfortunately, it dates from around 1920 to 1960, so a lot of the bottles found are common. Occasionally, a gem is found.

About the Fellows & Co, St. John, N. B.

If my memory serves me correctly, this chemist made a "Spirit(s) of Hypophosphite" which is fairly easy to find over here in South Australia.

Cheers,

Tandy, Adelaide, S. A.

The common ones I find here in New Hampshire, USA, are "Syrup of Hypophosphites" by Dr. Fellows. I believe that is what you meant.
You don't find the "Chemists" ones as often.
Thanks for your interest in my posts, Tandy.
The dumps I dig could go back to the late 1700's, if you're lucky.
