Rick,
Here is a bottle one very lucky digger pulled out 10 days ago. We had hiked up a canyon about 2 miles and were looking for sites. Found a nice bowie knife, an opium pipe and on the way out decided to check a site with 30's trash visible.
,You know there were only so many flat spots to camp on. Well out came a Lea and Perrins and we almost stopped digging. Next came a black, another Lea and Perrins, a couple of Pierces Favorite Prescriptions and another black.
Then an open pontiled med and next to it a variant 1 Lacours, dead mint not a scratch in very light honey amber. Last was a small 7 inch pickle. I guess it's nice to be rewarded for persistence .
Very happy campers that day!

I keep saying there is still a lot of good stuff to be found. If you put in the time and keep plugging along you will be rewarded. Yep, I like to hear about happy campers!

Excellent in all regards! High fives!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that trumps having a Lacquor's in your collection, is having dug it yourself!
And you reinforce what I've said since I started digging nearly 50 years ago; "once a good spot, always a good spot"!
Congratulations!

Appears to be a variant 2 Lacour' s Sarsapariphere Bitters example. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteI was not sure it was a variant 1 only a guess. I know it is dead mint with only a water rinse. Love that high country glass. Cal 49er
