Catawba Wine Bitters

Here's a few pictures of an early square that came out of a gold rush era trash pit here in town this morning. Five or six blacks, a half dozen wines and a broken large size black Hostetter's along with about 20 broken shot glasses were the only other things in the pit.


I would call it darn lucky that this dark forest green iron pontiled Catawba was intact. It has some small scratches and a minor lip chip but somehow survived being thrown in a hole full of broken and whole saloon bottles.



Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.
