Todays bottle, and It's a nice one!

I went to see about a job today, but unfortunately got there a few minutes too late to meet the lady I needed to see. So on my way home I stopped by the lot where huge amounts of fill dirt have been dumped over the past few months. This lot has given up quite a few bottles, and I noticed some new grading there so I figured it'd be a good time to have a look.

About two minutes in I spied this one on edge in the mud with the lettering showing. I just knew it was going to be broken, but to my surprise it came out in one piece! It's a "Consumers Soda and Mineral Water Limited New Orleans" I'm trying to find a match to date it, but no luck so far. I can find a few similar ones online, but the embossing is different than the one I have.

Well it's early yet so I might just head back and look some more......

I have had days like that! But on a good note... That is definately a "keeper" of bottle. Its hard to find forgiving enough ground around these parts that would able to give-up an intact bottle like that!

Keep it Up!

No, it's a flat bottom.

Thanks all, My girlfriend and I went back to the site, but didn't find anything else. I did find a broken cobalt medicine, and some bits of pottery, but nothing worth bringing home, and as a bonus, I went back down to the Quarter and got the work I was after. It's an occasional thing at an antique shop, but he's got a lot of really nice bottles in there so I hopefully will have a nice discount to help my collection grow.
