Are you including the pontil mark and color variation as separate examples? Please elaborate some more, as I am aware of only the 4 mold deviation examples.Warren Friedrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175276008602674129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-30422152859795336862009-10-07T05:50:12.090-07:002009-10-07T05:50:12.090-07:00It has been brought to my attention that there are...It has been brought to my attention that there are 7 variants of the Turner's square, including an aqua pontiled example. I stand corrected and would love to see an aqua Turner's.<br /> <br />This is the very reason for this blog, the bringing together of scattered information into a common place for the advancement of the hobby.<br /><br />G.P uncovering a Turner's with the contents, including the wood bark shavings, got my attention. Could this have been the Forest Wine Bitters that they were advertising?<br />rsRick Simihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08482738207230371864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6842291092692051858.post-3011639513191917272009-10-06T17:55:50.671-07:002009-10-06T17:55:50.671-07:00A few years ago we dug an embossed Turner's li...A few years ago we dug an embossed Turner's like the one pictured standing straight up at the bottom of a 12' outhouse. It was corked and still full of the original contents. We pried the cork away a few weeks later and poured out what looked like a burgundy colored wine mixed with about 1/6 wood bark shavings. The contents had been perfectly preserved and had a rather pleasing somewhat strong forest like aroma, smelling like a combination of cedar & pine. <br />www.oldwestbottles.comGolden Plantationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166054735236043051noreply@blogger.com
