It is super rare, and found in the West. I believe one was dug in Virginia City,and one in the Bay Area. <br /> M.E.Westernglassaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162676128646657580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-107363094468041482010-02-02T20:13:44.177-08:002010-02-02T20:13:44.177-08:00Old Cutters, are you sure their not handled ?

Cutter jug only much larger. It's embossed "Oldner's / Superior Old Rye / Is The Miners Protector". There are two miners embossed on the front with one digging with a shovel and the other holding a pick and drinking from a bottle. Whole and busted ones exist in a grape puce color, have an applied handle, open tube pontil base and are generally very crude & bubbly. Broken ones have been dug in the Northern California mining areas. It's one the most impressive looking bottles I've ever seen, very few intact examples are known.Golden Plantationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166054735236043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-22942237047732599642010-02-02T17:19:48.836-08:002010-02-02T17:19:48.836-08:00Oldner's Miner's Protection Whiskey absolu...Oldner's Miner's Protection Whiskey absolutely comes in a handled chestnut shaped bottle with miner embossed on it, too. I have a photo of one around here someplace, if I can just find it. A very rare and extremely valuable bottle.Mike Dolcinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100009168892063834noreply@blogger.com
