I just thought of an idea for a thread when I was cleaning off a "common" un em bossed bottle I dug last week.I left it in the bag with some dirty cone inks and other common un um bossed stuff.I had the day off,so I thought I might as well clean one up.As I took off the grime from the past,the common un embossed bottle became a cool looking piece of craftsmanship.It was really whittled and had lots of bubbles.I probably would have left that bottle in the bag another week or until I dug again.
If you have any cool looking un em bossed stuff post it up.

Ps my camera sucks because I smashed it with a bar.[8D] it looks better in person.

I have one similar to yours in looks,Rick. Its 5 1/2" tall with an applied lip,but has a weird indentation,(I dont think its a bubble),on the inside with what looks like something dragged across it leaving a pointed mark.The line directly under the indent, is the seam from the other side.I found it in a TOC dump.

Here's some seam sided flasks from the past few weeks of digging. I always enjoy finding theses in nice colors.

Nice "slickers", guys. Here is one of my favorite unembossed bottles. This is a large, light cobalt or cornflower blue ammonia or utility bottle. The picture isn't great, but it's hammered with whittle and has a wicked applied flat "disc" lip. ~Jim

Don't know what it was was but it sure was pretty. For some reason, when I dug it, it had a cork stopper witha blacking swab in it. Doughtful it was for blacking. Maybe a food sauce?

Where'd you dig that and what does the base look like? Is there any seams? Swiz
