Nice pictures and info.great! IN 1974 when I first started collecting ,I would gather all the machine made ponds diggers had left behind . I thought they were idiots and the ponds were worth a small fortune! MY first wife took one look at all the dirty bottles and pointed to the door and said "OUT"! BOY THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF DREAMING AND HASN'T LEFT ME YET ! THOSE PONDS GAVE ME THE SAME FEELING AS CATHEDRAL PICKLES DO NOW![][][]
you gotta stop rubbing em so hard while looking at the auction catalogs Matt! Man I think even back then I woulda wanted to talk to someone about bleeding piles...
I still have trouble leaving a ponds at the dig... but reluctantly I do...
I'm pretty sure I've dug a golden treasure, it just said golden treasure on the front panel, cant remember if it said anything on the sides... I dont have it now...
Ok , here is an odd one on the topic of Pond's Extract...
This is an painted/enameled ground stopper bottle. With painted label POND'S EXT.
I am thinking this wasnt actually put out by the Pond's company but was part of some toilet set. Probably designed as a refilable fancy holder for Pond's Extract?
