Howdy Bill,

        You and I discussed this a while back (I need to organize all those e-mails),
and I believe you came up with a date range for the embossed intervals on drug
store bottles.  If you still have that information handy, please either send it to me, and
I will post it, or just post it on HISTARCH (did you ever join?).  It will also be
interesting to see what Allen will say.

        I just sent in the last re-write for my first two articles on dating El Paso
bottles, so the journal will probably be out in a couple of more months.  I will be e-
mailing the dating theory parts to the HISTARCH group that has shown interest, so
you will get them, too.  Since they will come to you that way, I will not also send them
separately.

Bill
