new old bottle

[SC pontil collector]

I didn't know if I should post this here or in he digging finding forum. I found it in one of my boxes of stored bottles that I am getting rid of. I can't remember where it came from or anything about it. Its the nicest bottle in my junk/dug bottle boxes by far.
Funny thing is that I had duplicates of this same one and just sold one of them to another collector.
Its a new find from my batch of old boxes.

Hi Tim,
I am sorry to say but the same collector that bought the other one has offered to buy it.

Tim is right, its from St.Louis, Mo. I had two of these in my collection and just recently sold one.
What I didn't know is how much of a demand there is for this bottle. We dug both bottles back in the seventies and just kept them in our collection.
Its a really nice short paneled bottle and colored sodas are scarce from St. Louis. Its size is unique for a paneled soda.

It's one I don't have yet. Does this one have any of the graphite left?

Hey Tim,
This one had no iron left. You didn't tell me that you didn't have one of these when you were emailing me about the other one. I would have emailed you first on this last one if I had known.
I am going through about 12 more boxes, if I find another one, I 'll email you first. I have about two more boxes of midwest bottles.

I appreciate it. I've had a chance at a few of them, but they all had some form of damage so i've held out. Definitely keep me posted on any colored midwest ones you may consider parting with. Thanks!
