I have dug many USA Hospitals out here in CA and those that still retained the stoppers all had those clear glass ones, regardless of color. It was very difficult to convince the "experts" that those were original to the bottles. You have a GREAT collection, Kelly.[]

Thanks Cindy, bostaurus, and Caldigr2. Yes Cindy there are still a couple of cobalts I would like to get and a lime green shoulder embossed, but the lime green ones are pretty scarace too. I agree Cal, the clear stoppers are the only ones I have ever seen with these bottles no matter what the color of the bottle.

I always loved the H.O.S.P DEPT bottles.I only ever dug one,after that,never dug a shard.

I love this bottle.

Rick, that one you dug was one I was really after. In fact, I believe I offered to take it off your hands at one point in time. I finally found one on ebay a few months ago and jumped on it! The Aqua pints are very common as far as Hosp. bottles go, but what makes yours special is the lip. Most all Aqua pints have the flange or single collar lip. The double collars are much more scarace. Hang on to it buddy.[][]

Kelley!! I'm blown away by these pics... I remember some dug? pics of yours from way back, but you've accumulated some beautiful bottles! I agree, I really like that double collared example that you and Rick have too, It's a stand out. That lip finish looks good on the large colored ones too! What a fantastic collection.
