Good news and Bad news

[No gold in NY]

First the bad news.

A week ago I was poking around in the chicken coop again. Saw this crushed down box. Reached into the side and one by one pulled these out. Each one was a stab in the heart. I'm still going to save them as they represent the past quite well.





And now the good news.

These four were also in the box. I posted earlier about the Dr. ELMORE'S after my JPEG files crashed and received some good comments and info. There is some "sick" on it, but some grey/white that a week in CLR didn't help. Tried Polident, then vinegar. Probably not worth having cleaned with two small chips on the top edge of the lip. The chicken coop has been good to me too.

Awesome finds glad you kept the broken ones. You’re right though it is definitely a let down to find 90% of an old bottle.

Sorry to see the broken ones .But the main part of the bottle is still intact. I would not throw them out as they are still great bottles .And the other picture show that you have found a spot that has been more good than bad .

Sorry about the broken ones, those are all nice. It happens. In this hobby, more times than not the majority of your finds will be broken. The Dr Elmore’s is my favorite. Is it embossed on 3 sides or just 2? And the medical discovery on the right, what is that?

Sorry about the broken ones,those are really nice.

Bass, it is embossed on three sides. It's a quack medicine. Back then they could say anything they wanted. The medical discovery is a Dr. kennedy's bottle.
