Awesome!!!!! I love it

OP or smooth base? It seems to somewhat affect value. Looks like great embossing. Too bad the lips are so often damaged on these bigger Harrisons. I don't own one larger than a pint, and would love a gallon on the shelf, but you'll get more for it than I can afford these days.

Great find!

I guess we have to wait for Bram to get past the excitement and post back with new pics and info LC.
As we no there was no standard for true measure so it's either more or less than a gallon but I think it's probably close.
I'd like to know if there was a printer nearby or somewhere up stream, that's an industrial size.
That's a real nice find Bram! It's one heck of a chiseled log. [][][]

Wow, I'm super happy for you, that is an unbelievable find Bram! Sounds like you need to go through that riverbottom with a fine toothed comb! Or clam rake. Or cofferdam the spot and dig it down right! []

Very nice porcelain sign too. Long distance calls back then were EXPENSIVE. I've got a fee card from about 1930 (i imagine the sign is older), and though I don't have it handy I think a 3 minute call from NYC to 'Frisco cost around 10 bucks, and a 3 minute call to London was something like 36 bucks. Imagine having to plop down 2 gold double eagles to pay for a 3 minute call. Crazy how times have changed and we can now video chat for free and for as long as we want with people halfway across the world.

Anyway, superb discoveries, thanks a whole lot for sharing! []

I cant even imagine small bottle surviving in the rivers around here since they are full of rock.
Its amazing that giant thing survived.

The ones I handled at shows were heavy. That is why that baby made it in the river.
