This is my worst crier of 2010 on so many levels. This is the first STONE MOUNTAIN BOTTLING CO. Norton, VA non standardized 12oz bottle I have ever seen, and unfortunately the neck is gone and a huge crack down the side, but like the Norton, VA 6 star Coca Cola bottle, and the Kingsport Bottling Works of Kingsport, Tenn. bottle I have dug, it sits in my collection until I can find another.

From the Laboratories of G.W. Merchant Chemist Lockport NY. I know it's not rare and doesn't compare to some of the other postings here, but I have always liked these. Could not find the top anywhere in the dump. I got some decent stuff out of this dump but of course all the good stuff was broken including some pontils.

Best of the worst for me. Captain Bragg on one side. George Washington on the other. Light cobalt blue. OP. Last one sold at auction brought $12K.

Privy was dipped save for the last foot-and-a-half. Other pieces must have gone on the honey wagon along with the top to a good local beer that I dug in this pit. Now - if only I could find where they dumped that cart!

Guess if this was easy, everyone'd be doin' it.

Here's mine. It not a bottle, but an insulator. I hope that doesn't get me banned from here for life. [:(] Anyway, I don't know how rare it is. Others on here could tell me for sure, but I've never seen one like it. I believe it's a CD 196. ~Mike
