I took my bottle cabinet down to refinish the hardwood floors about 3 years ago and still haven't put it back up. Prob'ly never will, I guess. I stick different bottles in the only windows we have that still have sills. Remember these?

that green no-crown and green circle are pretty sweet. did you dig them ?

 

[CALDIGR2]

Frank Webb dug the open face Hotaling at the Benicia Arsenal many years ago. I got it from Doc Ritz, as promised. I did dig the green Circle in West Oakland, along with a much darker green one that I sold to Allen Wilson because of a base chip. There were over 25 mint 4 pc mold Circles in that little pit. I'm looking to dig more applied fifths this weekend.

BTW, while many collectors seem to think of "green whiskies" being all that counts, there are rarer bottles in those pics. Crudity has it all over color in my book. Give me extremely whittled yellow amber any day. Oh yeah, the green ones are "hammered", too.

 

[caldigs]

Well, I think in general I'd rather have a crude green example of a more common bottler over a plain amber example of a much rarer bottle. There are exceptions though.

Those are some beautiful fifths and they look great with the window light...but windows aren't safe places in earthquake country. Gotta love Western glass.
