My favorite Cumberland, MD IP

[McCoke]

Here'a a photo of my oldest and favorite bottle from my hometown of Cumberland, Marland. An nice iron pontil KORTS & WICKARD. It's the only IP Cumberland bottle I have. I used to have a BORGMAN IP torpedo from Cumberland, but sold it years ago...wished I had that one back! I'm looking for pre-1900 Cumberland bottles, IP or otherwise. For some reason, most 19th century Cumberland bottles are scarce.

I find Cumberland bottles every so often in the Frederick/Hagerstown area. Mostly pharmacies, beers/sodas, and milks. I'll keep you in mind.

I have an old whiskey flask from Oldtown. It says, "J.W. Carder, Dealer in Wines and Spirits, Oldtown, MD.

I live close Cumberland in Bedford, County, PA and have dug alot in Cumberland over the years. I ran across a fellow who had a Borgman in mint condition he said he bought at a yard sale for $10. I wish I coulld ge tthat lucky.

That one you have is very nice. Any antebellum Cumberland bottle is rare.
