What a Hoss!!!!!

[bearswede]

Hey all you Doc Hostetter fans...

I finally managed to corral one of them dark Hossies I been lustin' after for so long... It looks black, but to the light it is olive green; 9 and a quarter inches tall... It's pretty much in the mold of Dr. Townsend, with many seed bubbles and a crudely applied lip... The base is crude, but does not appear to be pontiled per se...

Gee Haw!!!! Giddyup little doggie...

Is that stoddard, Ron???

I'm not sure, Woody... Were Hostetter bottles blown out of Stoddard? It has, to me, the look of my mid-1800, sand-pontiled Dr. Townsend and U. Wolfe bottles...
