Rest In Peace Rick, we are going to miss you.
I don't know about you, Rick, but in my experience the Daly's was far more popular with the mining set than Charles' was. Daly's, Wistar's and London Jockey were the foremost brands up thar. Them old boys also swallowed their share of schnapps along with the gin.
ReplyDeleteOC,
ReplyDeleteYour right on the money. Daly's, Wistar's, London Jockey's, Adolpho Wolfe's and those big ol' honkin' 31 ounce black Hostetter's are what the high country miners drank.

Oh, I forgot about the "Hossys". Some of those high country sites are littered with fragmented examples of them, along with the others mentioned. It's very rare to encounter a complete one, but it does happen. Now, it's snowing again, further covering our "hot spots". I have one dump site that we can't wait to get back to. Just when we thought the white stuff was going away, BAM, here it comes again. Most of the bottles up there are '70s to '90s, and too new for some "purists" in the group. Me, I prefer those years. Plenty "good'uns" in that span.
ReplyDeleteI'll take 1870-1890 any day ! Half the bottles most people think are 70s actually flow a few years into the 80s. Speaking of dumps, what are the most epic dump digs known (besides the SF 98 Dig) ??
ReplyDeletePersonally, I can't recall any fabulous "dump digs", other than the "piles" at Candlestick, Sierra and other points around the bay.
ReplyDeleteSome of the diggers I run with turn their nose up at anything that doesn't have a pontil. 1870s, nah, "too new". Not me.
