I finally got my camera back so I thought I'd post some pictures of my new bottle. My wife and I were on vacation in late october, we hit some antique shops and I couldn't find a thing. We were going to take a drive up the coast of Maine but she wanted to hit a couple more shops in the area we were staying. It was too nice of a day to be traveling so I said what the heck, she was right. To make a long story short we went into the last shop a half hour before they closed. Thats when everything came together and fell into place, perfect timing. I heard my wife say isn't this the kind of bottle you like? I turned to see her holding a nice old green bottle with a ton of whittle in it. I couldn't believe my eyes, the old green bottle was an OLD DR. TOWNSEND SARSAPARILLA. She smiled at me and said it has a funny bottom on it, she knew what an iron pontil looked like, she was rubbing it in because I walked right by the bottle and never noticed it. I couldn't believe it when she told me the price tag said old green bottle 10.00 dollars, not a $100.00 and that I had misread the price. When I got in the car I couldn't find anything wrong with it. When I paid for the bottle the owner of the shop told me the person just brought it in with some other things and if she had known it was there she would have bought it. Since then I have had some good offers but I just can't let that old green bottle go! I just want a chance to enjoy the glass for a while. I know deals like this happen alot but not to me.
