Unexpected find for the dump I was in

[DiggerLarry]

I have been digging in a dump near my home for many years.This dump only dates around the 20's to 30's and have loved the joy of finding milks and sodas there but every so often I fine bottles there that just don't fit the dumps profile. Today was one of thews days and finds here is a Bitter bottle that is not widely known from Hartford Conn. Its aCocamoke Bitters Hartford Conn.I wanted to share it here for documentation as I cant fine another on the net .

Excellent late throw discovery! I just found my first pot lid and base in a 20s dump. Those loads of clean-out trash are mighty interesting to dig through, hope you find more goodies in there!

Listed in D&C auction prices as ranging from $220 to $275. There were only 4 listed and ranged from sale years 1992-2002, with 2002 being the $275 price. These numbers don't include buyer's premiums, taxes and shipping costs. I suspect by the low number of these coming to auction that they are pretty scarce and would expect a number closer to $500 in a decent economy. If I dug it, you couldn't pry it from my dying boney fingers for less! Sweet find. Jack
