Thanks Bobbycommonbottles, Love the stock farm embossing! And nice sunrunner, I have always loved the hirschfelds. ever dig anything embossed Belmar?
Thanks Kevin. If you do a search for Wilcox's Cure here on abn, scroll down to about the 7th post which was my original with insitu shots and fresh dug pics, as well as cleaned up and the IP base. It is also embossed Albany (NY) and was apparently a short lived product as the advertising was from about 1846 to 1851 from what I was able to find. They also produced a gorgeous sarsaparilla in the same color and one variant with a backwards "S" that sell in the 4-6k range. Seems there are a dozen or so out there of the sarsaparillas, so far only 4 cures and I heard one had some damage. It was found in an 1870's privy in Quincy Il. and was a late throw along with a pontiled ice blue Townsends Sarsaparilla in pieces. The Wilcox was only the second bottle from the hole at about 3 feet deep and had me quite excited. Even though I had no clue to its rarity I knew it was a good one for the reasons mentioned. I dug 25 productive holes in 49 days and this was from hole #21. Mine is also the one in Knapps book on medicines. (My bottle is famous, I'm not.....Just the way I like it! Ha!) Jack somebody-or-other........coldwater diver said:Jack that Dr. Wilcox is sweeet! Great color, shape, and embossing. How did you come across that one? Could you show a picture of the bottom please. Did you research where Dr Wilcox was from? Kevin
