Liquid veneer was shellac (a finish applied to wood) which gave it an extremely glossy look.

Thanks for the information on the liquid veneer bottle. I have dug a few over the years and never knew what they were; good to finally know. I had some success digging on Thursday and found some nice bottles. I only had time to clean up the 3 intact druggist bottles of the dig so far, so here they are. The H.T. Sturz looks to be from NYC and the other two are Croft & Conlyn from Baltimore. I've always liked druggist bottles but I really don't find that many of them.

Nice job on the druggists; I love digging those up! Did the Balto ones fill any spaces in your collection?

Thanks, I love the druggist bottles. I just keep all the different Balto ones I dug and I have never dug the Croft & Conlyn bottles before, so yes they will stay in the collection.

Here is some more stuff from the other day. A pair of mason jars. One is Atlas EZ Seal and the other Atlas Strong Shoulder. Whats with the color of the Atlas EZ Seal? I have never seen one as green as this one before, what would this color be called? Apple green? Ill post it in the jar section too.

Sharp & Dohme, Hynson & Wescott from Baltimore, and a pair of different sized Hynson, Wescott, & Dunning bottles also from Baltimore. I have never dug a Hynson & Wescott (without Dunning) before, so it was a neat one to get.

The differences in the monograms. Basically the same bottle though.
