Left side is from previous dig ,right and top are recent .Are these bottles embossed the same on two sides or did i find 2 seperate heartbreakers (the v is on both pieces) ,and are the xxx and patd , for parts of this or something else ?

Finally the whole one ,the neck is way off center have not seen this before ,glad to get something intact !The good thing about this dump is only glass and rocks ,the glass is not sick just all broken .I think i was pretty thorough this time but .........maybe next year

The pontil ! Is this considered a utility or med bottle ? Thanks for looking and any info !

Dang that is a very nice med, that neck is WAY off! The delicate color is quite attractive as well. It sucks about the others but you may get really lucky the next time you go out (and don't wait a year to go back! [])

Thanks ,it is too depressing unless i wait plus i hit it hard this time again (still a couple more tons of rock to move but it was getting newer).The other thing is i know where the main dump is ,but it was buried with heavy equipment many moons ago ,now a swamp .Also where these came from was not used very long .

The Loveridge's had the same embossing on 2 of its sides , so I'd say by the color match of your shards it's from the same bottle.
And , yes they were embossed on the shoulders with XXX and PATD . So , I would say all those shards are from the same Bitters bottle .
