I tried making a chip (flake) like that on a few cheap hutches I have here and I have determined it is impossible for modern man to create a perfect flake like that.
Only the early Fulsom point making America Natives could produce a flake of that quality.
You should keep that bottle as it may be evidence that there is still a 'lost' fulsom culture existing somewhere in the USA.

I found the missing piece!! It seems, however, it's been mistaken for something else: HERE

That thing is nasty, Chuck. Sorry to hear of your misfortune. If that is "fair condition", then "poor condition" would have to mean pulverized into sand.

The giant flea pic made me chuckle. A guy that I used to buy bottles from (but no longer will) is famous for under-describing damage. I told him once that I NEVER wanted to encounter the flea that made that "fleabite", as it could probably bite off my head. Another of his classics is the "flash". None of his bottles are ever cracked, it's just a "flash". Like a three-inch "flash" with rust staining inside of it [&:] ~Jim
