Ho Bra, Real original name welcome to the forums. I think this is a good thing for the digging community.
Congrats on your great score. I bet you will never forget that day. Best of all you were with your wife. She must be the good luck. If the bottle should ever need a home you know what to do. CHEE HOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAD A QUESTION, NEVER SAW A DOUBLE ETCHED RYCROFT, IS IT COMMON, RARE OR AM I SEEING THINGS STILL NICE THOUGH...808KAZ

 

[HawaiianBottleHunter]

You seeing it right - it is double-etched. Maybe the guy who made it didn't like his first attempt with the acid and decided to do it one more time; or maybe something like how the embossed ones come doubled too, in the making, unintentionally.

Just tripped out when I first cleared some of the dirt and saw the etching. Did that a bunch of times before with bottles that looked real similar but turned out to be naked. Like the clothes on this one, even if layered twice.
