Hello All,
The team went for a dig at one of our dump sites on Saturday.
I didn't take a group shot of my bottles this time because the wind is blowing so hard outside I was afraid they would be toppled and broken.
My keepers,
A heavy, green bottle with stopper. The stopper moved freely in and out of the top of the bottle when I pulled it out of the hole. We were astonished the two pieces remained together. I suspect it is a smelling salts bottle based on some research Sharon did on another green bottle I found last trip. Digger Charles found some information that provides more evidence.
Smooth base, no embossing anywhere on the bottle or stopper. 3.75” tall with stopper installed,
My first one of these. Warner's Tablets bottle with brass screw cap intact. 2.75” tall,
This one turns out to be pretty common but it's the first one I have found. Aqua, 5.75” tall,
/THE E.E. SUTHERLAND/MEDICINE CO./PADUCAH.KY./,
An old brass lantern,
A Dundee Marmalade jar. There is a chip off the rim on the reverse. The logo glaze is weak and it smeared when they fired it,
A nice Chinese soy sauce jug,
An Owl Drug Company whiskey top! 6.25” tall. I like these. This is my second. Jim Sinsley helped me identify the first one I dug. It has two tiny bruises on the reverse and one on the top. There is a small, 1/8” flash on the reverse near the shoulder. Still a keeper.
I posted a picture of it with the one I found before. I like how different the owls are,
Owl Drug Company, Standard Pharmaceuticals. 8” tall. It has a big chip in the rim. I know because I put it there! The glass where the chipped out piece was is clean. I need to be more careful packing my bottles,
Charles dug some keepers,
Baja bitters. 11.25” tall. Perfect condition. 10 for sure. No haze, no sick. I'm sure it's a tool top but it looks like it's applied,
This one is a bit of a mystery. Is it a grocery store brand whiskey? I suspect it is. It has a whiskey top and the look of a whiskey. 9 11/16” tall. /WELLMAN, PECK & CO. DISTRIBUTORS/SILVER THISTLE GROCERIES/,
Any intact poison is good. Small chip on the rim,
A good Palmer bottle. 7” tall,
Digger Scott dug a few good ones. This one is excellent. Square base. A little haze but otherwise perfect. 'French Hospital' was a San Francisco hospital founded in 1851. From the research I did it existed through at least the mid-1970's. Has anyone ever seen one of these bottles or something similar? Any idea what an approximate value could be?,
Thanks for looking.
