Dug My First Pontiled Bottle!

[BENTHOR]

I dug this bottle today, must have been a late throw as it was surrounded by ABM bottles..... iron pontiled, crude drippy applied lip...very short dig and well worth it!

A rose among the thorns. Glad you saved it, we tend to be a bit rough as we plow through ABMs.

Very true! I have learned the hard way, and I'm sure many others have too. I am as careful as I can be when sticking my shovel in the dirt.

It is 6 3/4'' tall and the diameter of the base is 2 3/4." Thanks a lot, I've always wanted to dig something pontiled.

Nice Citrate. I collect those Ellis bottles and have quite a few. Charles Ellis made quite a few different things and Citrate of Magnesia was one of them. Here is an old ad.
