the picks from the dig

[NorCalBottleHunter]

nothing to special, i guess it makes since, when you're digging a hole where most everything is smashed, the likely hood of a particular bottle surviving.... I'm sure inks would rate high. the amber one is embossed with a pat. date on the front, and Bixby on the bottom, the locals meds were a cool find also, since i didn't have any, and the citrate is what i had my eye ball on, even though it does have the slightest bit of damage, oh well..... i"m still pretty happy with my take and i cant wait to get back out there and find a new one, they're getting so hard to find these days

Are you kidding...if I dug those I would be thrilled! I especially like the amber ink...I like the lip on it...keep digging and reporting back!

Thanks,

i myself have never heard of Bixby, is it common?

Bixby is shoe polish, and they are pretty common, and come in a wide array of colors... somebody here has a nice collection of them.. ..Idigjars.. check it out: https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/m-212047/mpage-1/key-bixby/tm.htm#212058

The Richardson's is very nice. Bixbys seems to be fairly common in aqua. I'm not sure how much the rarity jumps for the colors.
