Well after 12 days, 15 emails after the first contact thru Craigslist, I had a secretly arranged meeting tonight to look at a couple of bottles.
There were two bottles supposed to be brought by, a Nujol and an S.S. Fitch. From the pictures sent to me, the Fitch was four sided with indented panels and a long tapered neck. Hadn't ever seen or heard of a Fitch's like this, I persued the meeting until I got the final email.
Oh what wonderous new bottle was I to bring forth to the blue pages, the suspense was killing me.
As I sat there in my car, I felt like I was waiting for a "deal" to go down, ten minutes ticking by like hours. The smell of BK french fries wafting thru my windows, the suspense was doing me in. Then I saw I saw the car, right on time and heading right for me.
I jumped out with childish delight to meet my secret parking lot bottle dealers and low and behold three bottles were produced.
A stunning Nujol, I nearly wet myself.
The four panel was actually a Potter Drug Cuticura System of Curing Constitutional Humors - so much for the unknown Fitch and my 15 seconds of fame. My hopes were dashing quickly.......I told them to keep the Nujol.
And then the S.S. Fitch OP and not a scratch anywhere. Ureka, the wait had paid off. Its my first op and I'm diggin' it.
I paid the asking price of 30 bucks and although I may have paid too much, I thought it was fair.
