Gator Surprises Diggers at Dump in Georgia By Bill Baab
AUGUSTA, Ga. – When digging for antique bottles, you’ve got to expect the unexpected. But an 8-1/2-foot alligator? Come on! On September 30, 2012, I unlocked the main gate leading onto the former Augusta Mill Supply Co., property which sits on a late 19th-early 20th century landfill. Driving in, the first thing my wife, Bea, and I saw was the alligator stretched out on the parking lot’s warm asphalt. We couldn’t believe our eyes. Property owner Mark Branum and his general manager, Scott Walker, arrived within a few minutes and explained that he had been called to the property after midnight the night before. Some passers-by had spotted the gator and called the law. Branum had called the Georgia Department of Natural Resources where a spokesman said a licensed trapper would arrive the next day. So Branum shut the gate on the gator and went home. About 11 a.m., the day of our dig, Agent Trapper John Gillis and his wife, Denise, arrived and a few minutes later, they’d snagged the gator around the neck with a noose. Gillis was able to bind the jaws and place a towel over the creature’s eyes. That helped calm it down. Next, they hogtied all four legs and then measured and
sexed it. It was 8-1/2 feet long and turned out to be a male. One of our stronger diggers, Bob Riddick, of Lexington, S.C., helped Gillis lift it into the back of the trapper’s pickup truck. The experience made Riddick’s day and later I presented him with an 8x10 color photo of that scene. How did the gator get into the fenced-in area? The gate is closed over the weekend. Turns out the security cameras on the property next door had spied the surly saurian, but the property owner hadn’t said anything. As for getting onto the property, there were several gaps between the bottom of the fence and the ground, each wide and deep enough for it to crawl through. So as the trapper’s truck drove off, I said, “See you later, gator!” But Mark Branum hopes not.

Dr. William Baker of Des Moines By Mark C. Wiseman
Dr. William Baker
T
he “Portrait and Biographical Album of Polk County, Iowa” published in 1890 gives the following description of the life of Dr. Baker. “William Baker, M.D., was one of the pioneer physicians of Des Moines and a widely-known and esteemed citizen. A native of Kentucky, he was born in Lexington, in 1816, and belonged to one of the early and respected families of the State. In his native city he was reared and acquired his literary education, while his medical studies were pursued in the Transylvania Medical College, of which he was a graduate. He began his professional career in Lexington and on leaving that city was united in marriage with Miss Ella B. Poindexter, who was also there born. The year 1847, witnessed their removal to Carmi, Ill., and in the spring of 1851, they became residents of Des Moines. Here Dr. Baker engaged actively in the practice of his profession for some years, but the country was then new and sparsely settled and the fatigue and exposure attendant upon his labors soon began to seriously affect his health. To obtain relief from constant professional practice he resolved to vary his occupation and in 1854, in company with his brother-in-law,
W.A. Poindexter, he embarked in the drug business, under the firm name of William Baker & Co. The first location of the firm was on Second Street, but in the spring of 1859, they removed to the corner of Third Street and Court Avenue…” The Iowa State Journal, of Fort Des Moines, Iowa, dated August 12, 1852 contains a Card advertisement: “Medical Card, Doctor W. Baker, A graduate of Transylvania Medical College. Has permanently located in Ft. Des Moines and respectfully tenders his professional services to the public. Having an experience of nine years in the treatment of modern diseases, he hopes to give satisfaction to his patrons. He will pay especial attention to operative Surgery, Obstetrics, and the diseases peculiar to women and children. Office in his new building, opposite Jewett & Rainking’s cabinet wareroom, Second Street. Night calls must be made at his residence on Third street below Court Avenue.(July 25)” The “Annals of Polk County, Iowa, and City of Des Moines” by Will Porter written in 1896 indicates: “Perhaps more old time reminiscences of this nature linger around a saloon opened by G. Munzenmaier in 1856, in a large log and frame building on the north side of Court Avenue, next to the alley between Second and Third. The house was one of the first built in town and for a time the residence of Dr. William Baker. The street having been filled, the first floor was then several feet below grade.” And: “In about 1856-57 or a little later, Dr. Wm. Baker & Co. built a three-story building on the southeast corner of Court Avenue and Third Street, to be occupied by their large drug store, and this building stands to-day (1896) substantially as it was originally built…” The 1856 Special Census for Des Moines and Polk County, Iowa lists
William Baker, 38 years old, five years in Iowa, a Physician, from Kentucky. His wife Ella B. Baker is listed as 27 years old also five years in Iowa , from Kentucky, and a one year old daughter Annie born in Iowa. The City of Des Moines started out as the settlement around the 1844 “Fort Des Moines” military post located on the west side of the river above the union of the Raccoon River and Des Moines River. There was settlement on the east side of the Des Moines River, East Des Moines (and South of the Raccoon River also). The town of Fort Des Moines original plat of 1846 is laid parallel to the Des Moines River on the east with Water street next to the river and Second street the first street to the west. The east/west streets are parallel the “Coon Row” of fort barracks later Elm Street, followed to the north by Market, Vine, and Cherry streets and Court Avenue. The original plat grid is not laid out true north/south or east/ west but is parallel the Des Moines River bank. The city was Fort Des Moines until February 16, 1857 when the Charter as the City of Des Moines took effect. I have been researching the earliest drug stores of Des Moines by reading the early newspapers on micro-film at the State Historical Library. The first advertisement I have for the drug store on Second Street is dated Fort Des Moines, September 4th, 1855. Unfortunately, the newspapers for Fort Des Moines in 1855 and 1856 are not available, so it is fortunate they ran the same ads in those days for very long time periods. This ad was in the April 4th 1857 Iowa State Journal and another version with the same text was still running in the Iowa State Journal of April 10th, 1858. The next ad is dated January 1, 1859 announcing the “The Cash System” with the business still on Second Street and was also in the Iowa State Journal.

Des Moines Daily Commonwealth, May 15, 1861
The next ad dated February 25th, 1860, announces that William Baker & Co. had moved into their new building at the corner of Third Street and Court Avenue. By June of 1860 the ad had been modified by adding the words “Baker’s Corner” to the ad, and the “Bakers Corner” ads run into May of 1861. The Daily Commonwealth of May 15, 1861 contains two different ads for Dr. Wm. Baker & Co., both of these ads announce the arrival of fresh goods. The 1860 census lists William Baker, age 40 as a Physician and Druggist (from Kentucky) having 8000 dollars worth of real estate and 2000

dollars of assets, his wife Ella is 38 years old, daughter Anna born in Iowa is age 3, and son Charles W.P. also born in Iowa is I year old. Back to the 1890 “Portrait and Biographical Album of Polk County, Iowa”: “Dr. Baker found it impossible to retire wholly from practice at once; his professional services were too fully appreciated and the demands of his friends were too urgent to permit him to engage alone in the drug business, but about 1865, he retired almost wholly from active professional work. “
There were no ads found in the 1862 newspapers for Dr. Baker & Co., However, a new ad was found in the Iowa State Register of May 27th,1863. This ad indicates that Mr. C.A. Weaver was now part of the firm as a Druggist and Prescriptionist. Mr. Weaver was listed in the 1856 Des Moines Census as 24 years old, a druggist, one year in Iowa, from Pennsylvania. The 1860 Census lists Mr. Weaver as a 26 year old Clerk from Pennsylvania, with a wife and one child. In the first advertisement for the drug store firm of Weaver & Maish, in the Daily State register, dated September 2nd , 1869, is a “Card”. The “Card” begins “The senior member of the firm, (for many years engaged in the “City Drug Store”, on Court

The Daily State Register, August 21, 1867
January - February 2013 Avenue) having had over twenty years experience in the Drug and Prescription business takes pleasure in informing his friends that he will hereafter be found at his store…” The addition of Mr. Charles A. Weaver in 1863 was an important added asset to Wm. Baker and Co. The 1866 Des Moines City Directory lists: Dr. W. Baker & Co. (Dr. W. Baker, W.A. Poindexter) Druggists, Cor 3d and Court Avenue. The next advertisement found for the firm is from the Daily State Register of August 21, 1867, for the Fall Trade of 1867. With Mr. C.A. Weaver leaving in 1869, the “Portrait and Biographical Album” biography indicates: “In 1869, he purchased the interest of Mr. Poindexter and continued the business alone until 1882, when his son was admitted as a partner and succeeded his father as sole proprietor.” The 1869 Des Moines City directory Lists: Dr. Wm. Baker & Co., Druggists, 48 Court Avenue, his home the north side of Pleasant between 10th and 11th Streets. The address number “48” is the earlier numbering system along Court Avenue. The 1869 Bishard’s Business Directory of the Towns on the Des Moines Valley Railroad lists W. Baker under druggists in Des Moines. The 1870 Census lists William Baker age 52, druggist with 20,000 dollars in real estate and 8000 dollars in assets, from Kentucky, his wife Ella age 40, keeping house, daughter Anna age 15, and son Charles age 11. The 1871 Des Moines City Directory Lists: Wm. Baker, druggist, southeast corner of Court Avenue and Third, resides on the north side of Pleasant between Tenth and Eleventh. A “G.W. Wood” is listed as “with Dr. Wm. Baker”, and a “H. Tobin” is listed as “with City Drug Store”, Mr. Wood would be a future drug store owner in the City of Des Moines. The Des Moines Republican, newspaper dated August 15, 1872 has a new ad for “Dr. W. Baker’s Iron Tonic and Blood Vitalizer”. The ad is modified on August 31, 1872 with the line “Just the Remedy for the Ladies in all cases of Anemia and General Debility” added. The known bottles of
55 “Dr. W.Baker’s Iron Tonic and Blood Vitalizer” are very rare. The only other known bottle from the firm is a clear paneled medicine bottle of approximately the same age side embossed “Dr. W. Baker”, and “Des Moines, Iowa”. The 1873 Des Moines City Directory lists: “William Baker, druggist 3d corner Court Avenue, resides Pleasant foot 10th, and M.H. Baker, clerk William Baker. The 1874-1875 Des Moines City Directory lists Dr. William Baker druggists at 222 Court Avenue, residing at1001 Pleasant Street. The “222” address is the later address numbering system for the city. The “1876 Centennial History of Polk County, Iowa” contains an ad for the City Drug Store, Dr. Wm. Baker, Wholesale and Retail Dealer, and proprietor of Baker’s Iron Tonic, Ague Prescription, and Honey Balsam.

62 cryptic at best. We do not consider this sufficient to seriously question the idea that the Circle-A logo was used by the American Glass Works or Richmond – as its earliest mark. A final interesting point is that all the Sauer’s Extract bottles we have examined, prior to the ones made by the Owens Bottle Co., were mouthblown into a two-leaf mold. Either we are missing a large sample of the bottles; or, the American Glass Works made generic bottles for Sauer after the plants achieved machine capacity; or, all the Sauer’s bottles were only produced by hand methods. The Richmond factory had machine capacity by at least 1913, although it continued to make bottles by both hand and machine methods until the plant burned in 1925. The early listings for the Paden City, factory, however, listed prescription and patent medicines as products but only noted machine production. This suggests that all the mouth-blown bottles we have currently examined were made in Richmond between 1908 and 1925. These observations bring up more questions than they answer and should guide the direction of future research into these fascinating bottles. What we need is a larger sample of Sauer’s Extract bottles. One anonymous collector noted that Sauer’s bottles were so common at Richmond that diggers threw them back in the holes. If Richmond production of the bottles ceased at 1925, and the next bottles we find (in our current sample) start in 1936, what happened during the intervening period? Did Sauer, indeed, use generic bottles with paper labels for the next decade? Only future research at Richmond will tell. AGW The AGW logo is even more contentious than the Circle-A mark. AGW was used by at least three glass houses in the U.S. and one in British Isles. Toulouse (1971:41) noted that the Alloa Glass Works of Scotland used the A.G.W. mark on
January - February 2013 glass containers from 1900 to at least 1971. However, we have not seen any bottles, either in person or on eBay, that could be matched to such a venue. We have observed a single example of a flask from the ca. 1870s era, with an applied finish and “AGW” embossed on the base. This was most likely made by the Arsenal Glass Works (1865-1868) or Aetna Glass Works (1869-1870). These bottles should be easy to distinguish from those used by other factories by the applied finish and post-bottom base. See Lockhart 2010 for more information about these earlier glass houses. At this point, the only bottles with the A.G.W. mark that can be attributed to the American Glass Works at Pittsburgh are on the heels (occasionally bases) of Hutchinson bottles – but these were used all over the U.S. Numbers or letters embossed below the logo almost certainly indicate a manufacture at Richmond or Paden City; these numbers/letters are not found on the Pittsburgh bottles. Other recognizable traits are crown finishes, machine-made bottles, and generally the logo on any nonHutchinson bottles.

Article Submission Requirements:
All Bottles and Extras articles or material need to be submitted on CD (preferable) or an email using a compressed (zipped) file. The file must be created by Microsoft Word, Publisher or Adobe N-Design so the editor does not have to retype the work. Highresolution digital images are our preferred format. Please submit digital images on a CD according to the instructions below. We will accept e-mail submissions only if the image resolution is acceptable. The e-mail or CDs must have only ONE subject per transmission to minimize confusion. Each image must be accompanied by a caption list or other identifying information. Professional-grade equipment is a must to achieve the size and quality image we require. The highest setting on the camera should be used for maximum resolution and file size. Only high quality images will be considered. Please do not send photographic prints or scans of images—the color and quality are generally not up to par compared with digital images or slides scanned by our imaging department. We will consider exceptions for photos that can’t be easily found, such as older historical images. We rarely use slides anymore and prefer not to receive submissions of slides due to the time and liability involved in handling them..
