Saxlehner's Bitterquelle Bottle
Well, here's my newly cleaned mineral water, which I mistakenly had termed a bitters type bottle. Although, the fellow I dug it with had thought the same thing, and he's a veteran compared to me, so we both got a little eddification!! I had told Cynangyl of the color of this bottle, and the site which has the information has a good picture of it, but here's the pictures I got on mine. It's a pretty interesting story too, so here's the link:

Just choose the "Hunyadi-Janos Bitterquelle" jump, or scroll down towards the bottom. Interestingly enough, they state that these are/were being found in California and were shipped there in the 1880's, and we found this one in a 1880's era dump here in Norfolk, VA, so maybe they had a much wider circulation than thought!
At any rate, here's the picture's for y'all, enjoy!!

Didn't plan on it, but the white if my wall reflected really neat around the neck.

White piece of paper to try and show color a little better.

You can almost see it, but the inside of the bottle looks "dimpled" when looking into a light source.
Hope you all enjoyed these, happy digging, and Happy Thanksgiving!!
