Ancient,
great find on the deadwood. keep 'em coming.

I'd keep it for sure. I've had guys try to weasel bottles out of me in the past only to find out it was worth double. I always tell people like that "if its so common go find one and I'll buy it from you" .

I've got an appointment with Mike at City Hall in Deadwood on Wednesday at 10o A.M. to see the Julius Deetken collection. I'll check it out and get back to you guys. I am looking forward to this day. Hope I can find out some info for you both. I have a question or two also, like why is Deetken in the book "The Black Hills or Last Hunting Grounds of the Dakotahs" by Annie D. Tallent spelled Deetkin. It's definitly the same guy.

I plan on calling Arlette Hanson on monday. she is the curator for the adams museum. im curious just to know how rare the pharmacies are. the prices on the hutch's is crazy. im still amazed that i even dug it here in illinois. its up at the top of the list as one of my faves!! let me know what you find out and i'll do the same.

Killer bottle. I've been to Deadwood a few times. It's only a few miles from Sturgis where the big bike run is. Seen the chair that Wild Bill was supposedly sitting in when he got shot too. It's still a very small town, but very cool because of the history (not to mention the HBO show[]). Glad you were finally able to load a pic.

Bet ya the price on that one is pretty crazy too.
