Here’s a few more from the cabinet of digs. Only one that was not dug is the Louisville Double Eagle. I need to get the travelers flask tumbled but it is super thin. Not sure how it survived the drop into the privy. It’s unlisted variant as well which is cool. Love this post as I really only collect flasks. Keep em coming. Regards, JGAS.

That Double eagle is sweet that's for sure. Those privy's give up some nice flasks from time to time. What's the Liberty flask? (I had'nt tried to look in the book to see?) pic 10 and 11

My hinge of the jaw is hanging a tad too low right now-more coffee-totally gobsmacked looking at those beauties this fine morning. Really impressive-front cover material. Thanks for the post up.

Now that's a real beauty med. amber. Love the lip on that example-well I'll be honest here what's really not to like-seriously. Thanks for the post up.

I have a pair of these Phoenix Bitters flasks, but the other has been difficult to photograph.

That's a beauty, Harry. Here's one of only two that I have, a GII-93.

Good job photographing this flask. Love the olive streak.

Here's something different:

here is one I found on the Oregon coast a few years ago. That was an odd day, my son and I walked about a mile across the dunes to the coast and there scattered all around were bottles of a similar age that had just freshly washed up. We stuffed our pockets and coats...we even found a five gallon bucket that had washed in and filled that up too. We took all we could carry but had to leave several right where they lay. I always figured some old privy had finally eroded into the sea and we were just there at the right tide on the right day.

That limestone bottom is very hard on bottles. I think I found one intact Romeo soda near the boat ramp in Dunnellon. Fossils, yes. Artifacts, yes. Bottles, no. The flask is a good recovery.

That's funny and I don't want to derail from "Flasks" but I found a Juliette soda about 100 yards from the flask..for the people not from around here, there were two small towns in this general area one named Romeo and the other Juliette!

What a day to remember, and what a great dicovery of the old glass just laying around. The last line sums it up all too well. Thanks for sharing the story with us all.
