It's Millers time !

Here is a rare western flask from a recent West Coast dig. While the large design Millers are considered common by most, the small design variants are much rarer is any color, especially amber. Less than 4 examples known in straight amber ?

Sac National Dig Report

Here is a dig report in from a local digger: "We had fun at the National Show, but had even more fun Saturday afternoon. We were fortunate enough to find a fresh demolition near the show and located an 1890s and 1870s privy. The 1890s privy produced a local Sac hutch soda, and the 1870s privy contained 4 lime green star based whiskies, a cobalt Dickies and an aqua Billings Soda. Fun show and fun dig!"
