I dug both of these in insanely perfect condition back to back memorial day weekend. Lucky does not begin to describe. To be honest over a week later it still seems like it was a dream. Is this actually happening?!!? First I pulled the Albany krug beer. Face down so was a nice suspenseful pull. To my shock it was the coveted krug beer of Albany NY! I left that day feeling good off that dig on the Saturday before Memorial day. The shovel took a beating and had split horizontally in the middle. All diggers know the futile feeling of digging with a springy broken shovel head. I went back on memorial day in the evening to replace the shovel for my brother who was going the next day. I could not resist a quick 2 hour dig in my hard earned pit that produced the krug beer among many other nice pulls. I was digging about an hour throwing my shovels of dirt in back of me. A friend of mine who digs was there and walked over to report finds and see how I was doing. I had 5 commons laid out just good enough to take. I go over to show them not too excited and I see the flask next to the five commons in perfect slick condition. A big bail of wheat on a dark mirror shiny bottle. I refer to this bottle as my 'Audrey 2'(little shop of horrors). I flung it out of my shovel with dirt/ash/overburden and it landed undamaged perfectly placed in my bottle pile.........ALWAYS CHECK YOUR OVERBURDEN! Ok so can anyone identify. the age or can verify that this is open pontil or some other kind? Thanks in advance for answers. Any info is greatly appreciated. I am keeping both but what is the value of a pontil type of these flasks? I know they are quite rare. Still shell shocked. Good luck out there all.
