awsome bottles !- I used to dig an old bottle dump in Helena, Montana - that likely dated from the 1880's to 1920's - we would
occasionally find ink jars , and "torpedo" bottles . I'd be much obliged if you would put up a cleaned and close pic of that coffee cup
in the bag - sometimes the decorative work on those is so sweet ! (I'd almost certainly use it if it is intact !)

Howdy Charlie,

Appears that the 2nd dig of the season was charmed. Congratulations on a wonderful bounty. I absolutely love that hobnail advertising ink! Those Denver Furniture & Carpet guys were doing some great glassy souvenirs at the time. To my eyes, you've got the best of them.

I'm looking forward to cleaned up photos, wishing you continued success for the next dig & thanking you for showing us.

Uber Groovy finds! A friend of mine found a Cripple Creek bottle (in cripple creek) in the 1980's-90's when they were building the casinos and got enough for it for a NEW Toyota 4X4. What area did you find it in?
