One of the strangest colors I've ever seen was a very dark blueish green we dug busted several years ago, you could barely see through it. The quart New Almaden Vichy Water bottles parallel these non circle IXLs in that they are of the same time frame, come in some of the same colors and were both likely blown by the same San Francisco glass house. In fact I believe the bottle displayed in this post was dug with one. The one pictured her is nothing short of spectacular in color, thanks for sharing.<br />www.oldwestbottles.comGolden Plantationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166054735236043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-7076904127642440042010-02-01T20:53:38.690-08:002010-02-01T20:53:38.690-08:00Anonymous

We have to wait 'til after a BIG family wedding and shindig. It won't be until April, though. Right now, there is far too much standing water that would make digging a stinky, and wet proposition. It can sit for a few more months, after all, it's sat for 130 yrs as it is.<br /><br />Tomorrow, we are digging a couple of pits that were probed in another, much drier, location up the valley. Maybe there's a bitters in one of 'em.Mike Dolcinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100009168892063834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-1671757213966640472010-01-31T00:46:39.293-08:002010-01-31T00:46:39.293-08:00Jeez 30 toolies, not so rare now!!! are theyJeez 30 toolies, not so rare now!!! are theyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-8933191397984139552010-01-30T17:22:59.767-08:002010-01-30T17:22:59.767-08:00A couple of nice green IXLs came from one of the A...A couple of nice green IXLs came from one of the Aleutian Islands several years back. We dug over 30 aqua examples from a privy at a farm house in Solano Co, CA. Most were later and tooled, but at least a dozen were the earlier applied jobbers with oval around IXL. The house was built in 1879, which was too late for the really good ones.Mike Dolcinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100009168892063834noreply@blogger.com
