1850's house no 1850's bottles! - 9/20/2006 6:45:19 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2016 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline I dug a privy today in Steubenville Ohio. It seemed like it would be great. We found a broken log cabin biters bottle and just about every other good bottle broken too. I did come up with a nice cork top fruit jar and a steubenville medicine. I also found a brown's iron bitters and a heinz no.37 jar, parker's hair restorer. and  kemp's balsam Leroy, new york. If any on can help me out on the fruit jar it would be apprecciated. By the way check out the pics of the broken I believe to be Jefferson glass water pitcher Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

Is the dig over or do you still have more dirt to move. Is that a soda on the left? What kind? Hope you fine more. _____________________________ Glenn YOU DIG IT ! http://www.geocities.com/gac3336/bottledigger.html (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 6

I'm going out Friday to do another in Steubenville. Maybe this one will have been used by someone who wasn't as proficient at breaking the bottles! _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to tazmainiendigger) Post #: 10
