Cool story on the bottle and the way it was found. Good memory on this one, Joe. Are you part elephant? All this time, I didn't know all I had to do was feed you a peanut butter sandwich for dinner and you'd be in heaven! [sm=lol.gif]

Joe is from Newark, and sent me a message about digging a dump with him in the near future. I'm getting 2 of his finds confused, and I'm not sure which one bit the dust, but if yall remember, he also had a labeled pontil ink worth quite a few ducketts that an old man gave him in a box of attic finds. I know that one of those two bottles ended up in the hands of his little one, and made a beautiful arc as it was thrown to the concrete below. I'll see if I can call him and find out the details.

I would love to know whatever happened to this bottle. Do the wheaton bottles look as crude as the bottle does in the pic ? Even the embossing ?

The Lancasters was embossed " Made in Taiwan" on the base.

I had one of the fake ones. Made in Taiwan....the embossing looked crude and I think it had a spelling error. See if I can find that post....

just ran across this post. I have three of the jaundice bitters bottles. All three are a little different (spelling errors, different embossing on bottom, color). Yep just fantasy bottles, kinda purdy to look at though.
