They are nothing more than overbearing rent-a-cops, but carry Fed credentials and can't wait to bust ass on some innocent bottle digger or arrowhead hunter. I keep a VERY low profile when doing my thing in the NV outback. We'll have to make a point of doing some explorations in "P" town, before it's too late for that locale, too. It won't be long.Mike Dolcinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100009168892063834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-65186849956614131682009-09-18T17:10:49.768-07:002009-09-18T17:10:49.768-07:00Andrew,

I would suspect there possibly could be a demijohn that is embossed on base it was a huge part of their market.Warren Friedrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175276008602674129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-66421670313409513372009-09-18T15:16:53.403-07:002009-09-18T15:16:53.403-07:00I would assume that any pre-1876 star-based bottle...I would assume that any pre-1876 star-based bottles are Pacific Glass Works. As far as I know this is the only bottle with both a star and glass works name on it which thus attributes the 'western star' to Pacific Glass Works and then San Francisco and Pacific Glass Works post-1876. What do you guys think ? <br />-<br />What other PGW base embossed bottles are known ? I have seen: whiskey, soda, master ink, pickle, jar, and apothecary bottles. Anything to add to the list ?????Numa.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04637102801730711911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-69290847648563829432009-09-17T22:25:10.282-07:002009-09-17T22:25:10.282-07:00Rick, the #6 road was locked up tight as you suspe...Rick, the #6 road was locked up tight as you suspected, so we headed for Austin and points east. Treasure and all other White Pine areas are now totally off limits. A spanking new jumbo BLM sign greets you on the road into Hamilton. Up to a 20k fine for digging or removing artifacts. No thanks! Leave the digging gear home if you are headed there. <br />On a happier thought..<br />Rick, thanks again for hosting such a fine bottle show and BBQ. We had a great time, sold well, partied, laughed and told stories until I was totally worn out... and it just keeps on going... reading your book! Fantastic! Don't have time to post anything. Great job, my friend.soleagenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077072450893224728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-13770326998047298962009-09-17T20:03:09.416-07:002009-09-17T20:03:09.416-07:00The base of some of the Boca Beer bottles also hav...The base of some of the Boca Beer bottles also have an eight pointed star, similar to this but obviously much later, probably by 20 years.

Dark green sixth dug somewhere in the foothill country, I will find out where. I found a broken one about 10yrs ago digging with Aaron H. in Nevada City. I kept the base, I'll post a picture to compare color. <br />Only other example I have owned--- bought a very dark green example at a street fair a 10-12 years ago. Can't even remember where ... on '49 I think. I spotted it from about 30 yds and knew right away what it was. Price - 20 bucks! Too bad it had a 4 inch crack around the base and up the side. Sold it to J. Lindholm. Don't know where it went from there.soleagenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16077072450893224728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8277506439468906997.post-59654411930629170152009-09-16T18:18:12.809-07:002009-09-16T18:18:12.809-07:00I have dug the dark green sixth size, here in SacT...I have dug the dark green sixth size, here in SacTown. I believe that Jeff Wichmann still has the base and neck to one of the examples we dug.
