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".
