Steve has
some awesome bottles. We spent some time looking at them. He went to the
basement and got out his shards. I was blown away. He came up with the idea of
having a "crier" section on the site. You know, the bottles you wished
would have been whole. He has a lime green scroll flask base, cornflower blue
quart eagle and scroll flask and success to the railroad, Binninger figural
cannon, etc. NO JOKE. I asked him why we haven't dug any more wild stuff this
year. His comment was, "The year isn't over yet".
Emerald Green Bronchitis Cure, iron pontil 11-30-03
Magic Fruit Jar. Redbook #1607-2. From 10-26-03 dig
Log Cabin Scalpine, 1/17/04. Warner's Safe Cure #32
Another Magic Fruit Jar! What are the odds! This one came from the 2/29/04 dig
My favorite crier. Half gallon, forest green, iron pontilled petal fruit jar from the 3/06/04 dig.
From the 3/14/04 dig, a "For Pikes Peak" flask in an awesome shade of
olive. Embossed on the reverse is the prospector shooting a deer. It is
highlighted in white for clarity.
4/4/04 The biggest cache of criers to date. A Drakes Plantation bitters in amber,
and one in YELLOW. Two different ip scroll flasks. Geo W Robinson's strapside
flask from West Virginia. Udolfo Wolfe's Aromatic Schnapps in a nice olive tone.
Steve is sad because the bottom is broke on this Ravenna Jar
Only a few shards from this David Andrews Bitters!
