Finally can scratch of One/Two of my local bucket list

[jihunter]

After a lifetime of growing up in Charleston, and a long career of history hunting I finally found my first complete SC Dispensary bottle. And not one, but two! A couple years ago I quit caring about them bc I could never get my hands on a complete one and its all I ever heard people talking about in local bottle, relic circles. Gues I was just bitter.

But finally I have two, found same day withing 20ft of each other in an excavated dirt pile from late 1800s home-site/barn on our lease hunting property in Givahns SC. All this time they have been right under my nose haha.

Apparently the Aqua, half pint is a very good one. Its a lot more crudely molded then other Dispensary bottles I have seen and literally looks like the glass is glowing. Anyways, super excited, any additional knowledge appreciated.

Holy smokes, congratulations! I especially like the half pint.

What ever happened to your big dirt pile with all the pontiled beauties? Is that dig still ongoing?

 

[jihunter]

My buddy was super gracious, but eventually it was pushed in the pond, he gave me a good heads up so we did what we could and he provided machinery for us to be efficient as possible. Luckily the city is starting a new hole in a week so we will get a new top 10ft load
I hear ya though

Some great bottles there. It's cool that they are not identical as well.

Congrats !!!! Those are a sweet pair of flasks

Sweet finds JI and congratulations on getting a bucket list item. I fully understand your desire for the dispensary bottles.... now you found these, you will likely find a bunch of them. What was that saying from the Wizard of Oz, something about finding what you were looking for in your very own back yard!

..and hey, if yall ever need "help" before pushing a pile of dirt into the pond, my # is still the same.....


Here is my flask like yours....probably my mostest favoritists botlle I have.


Cheers.

Nice finds!! I still have yet to find one whole.. The closest I came to one was a construction site and all of them were smashed..
