This weekend I was rooting through some boxes of bottles and shards that I had not been into for years, and came upon some privy dug shards that I was hoping someone here could help identify. These first shards were dug from a Baltimore, Maryland pontil era privy. These were from a large cylindrical bottle (probably 9-10 inches tall?), with a huge tapered lip, and in a typical Baltimore sapphire blue color. It was embossed vertically, but all that remains to be seen now is ".....NOLIA ( with an upside down "N") / ...... SULPHUR"
This looks to me like it might have been from a Virginia area spring or mineral water bottle, but I am unfamiliar with exactly what bottle it is?
Anybody familiar with this one, or know of a photo of a complete example?
Thanks
