Mike, Ill have to clean them all first and see what ones turn out good and Ill sell you one. I also got a few screw top versions that were more of a cornflower blue color, but none of the cork top ones were.

Good point Madman,...do you suppose Emerson produced these under contract to "Bromo Caffiene"?

74 of the 75 were the traditional cobalt blue.
That's awesome! now we know for sure about rarity. 1 in every 75 is teal.[:D][:D]
Was your head spinning when you hit those or did the come out in just a few shovel fulls?
Anyway, I think that's great. The hole that keeps on giving.

Emerson never would have produced those, they were the competition. He had Maryland Glass Corp formed to produce his bottles and with controlling interest I doubt he let them produce these for Keasby & Mattison.

Awesome score, I've only found a handful of the lighter/cornflower blue ones.

I would love to see the haul of the day arrayed in all of its cobalt (and teal) glory whenever you finish cleaning them all.

From the sounds of it lately, you have probably hit an old layer. Dig that deep and hard!
