From my Pit

[cookiemonstr87]

Hi,
Haven't spent much time in my pit lately, but yesterday as I was messing around outside in my pit I found an unusual bottle, and need some help identifying it. It is an amber bottle. Right above the rings it says, "CHAPIN & Gore," and then right below that it say, "FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS SALE OR REUSE OF THIS BOTTLE." On the very bottom of the bottle it had a "D" and an upside down "5". Then it also has some numbers that read 65 50. If anyone has seen a bottle like this or can help me identify it please let me know. Thanks. Danna

If your bottle has these words embossed it was made between 1932 - 1964

These words were required on liquor bottles after prohibition was lifted.

Danna - glad to see your still getting to the pit once in a while! Are you any closer to getting a metal detector?

Those pics you posted a while back of the pit were awesome...

Hey, Danna—

Scroll about halfway down the page and check for a photo of a similar bottle on the left at:

The Bottle has a smooth opening, I suppose that it had a cork, or possibly a glass stopper.
