Quite a gift

[carobran]

Well,I went to a longtime collectors house yesterday,He had some really nice bottles,including a case of some 40 odd Turlingtons(at least 4 were pontiled),a deep green U.S.A. HOSP DEP bottle with a really crude lip,a really crude little pontiled embossed ink,and several bottles dating to ancient times(one was dug in a 1890s dump in Vicksburg). He also had a Drakes Plantation Bitters in a case along with the Hosp Dep.,a Tippecanoe,and maybe another bottle. I asked him where he got the Drakes and he said a show(I think) then took the bottle out of the case,handed it to me and said I could have it,I couldn't believe it at first but here it is.

That looks really nice, better than average color and what a gift. Nice to have such generous friends, I am blessed to have one of those friends also.

Proud to be IN the Far Northwest even if not from there. []

That is nice! I will have one of those eventually.

That's the kind of act that will have you do the same thing 25-30 from now when you're the veteran collector....Display it proudly in a well lit window and handle it with care.
