RE: A couple of war milks - 10/6/2008 8:43:43 PM    pyshodoodle   Posts: 398 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Found a lot more of the pints. Since it was a hotel dump, I guess this would be a serving. Many different pints in this dump. We found a fair number of these, but this one is the best & the second best was given to my mother for Christmas present, as she likes WWII memorabilia.

RE: A couple of war milks - 10/6/2008 10:59:00 PM    pyshodoodle   Posts: 398 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Thanks madman - the bank is broken, but displays nicely. I will have to take another picture for a closeup, but here are some of my display shelves. Some neat stuff, some less so. Still new at this and need to re-organize these sheves with some of the more interesting stuff I've found.

(I think Bethlehem Brew Works is in there now.)  I know where the pathways are that you walk up/down behind Hotel Bethlehem during Musikfest are covering up nice old bottles! Some was dug, but not all. _____________________________ When god closes one door, he always opens another, even though sometimes it's hell in the hallway. (in reply to buzzkutt033) Post #: 12

Most of the time they have dates codes on the bottom and you can tell the month and year they were made. (in reply to pyshodoodle) Post #: 13

RE: A couple of war milks - 10/7/2008 12:54:17 PM    pyshodoodle   Posts: 398 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Kent- thanks for the info. I'll have to look at them again when I go home. The dump is 30's-40's with embossed and ACL milks/sodas. Found 56 marbles in one spot.. maybe a kid forgot them when they checked out of the hotel and they got thrown out with the trash. Bad day for him,  I guess.

RE: A couple of war milks - 10/8/2008 6:41:45 AM    jesster   Posts: 131 Joined: 2/21/2008 Status: offline doodle, I'll talk to dave this week. sounds like he wants to come down  saturday. If he does, we have a few very interesting places you might like. I have a cup and saucer from the hotel bethlehem. sunday i was thinking of heading up your(daves) way. You don't happen to have any waders do you? there might be some water involved. (key the suspensful music...) and some copperheads, and maybe a water moccasin, but have no fear. we'll be right behind you. I went out today for 3 hours. finally dug up an intact bottle, only to clean it off and see its a listerene. older, but still a listerene. (heavy sigh). I need  a good bottle day.  (in reply to pyshodoodle) Post #: 15

RE: A couple of war milks - 10/8/2008 9:48:16 AM    pyshodoodle   Posts: 398 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline Hi Jesster. I work on Saturday and have no waders... Actually, I don't work this Saturday, but only because I took off to do something else. Are you trying to scare me with the snake thing? Not that I want to run into copperheads, of course. Time to google copperheads and watersnakes so I can tell the difference. I know it's in the shape of their heads, but a refresher never hurts.

We don't have Cottonmouths in PA.  Have rattlesnakes & copperheads, but watersnakes are often confused for copperheads. I know the head is shaped differently and that's how you tell them apart. _____________________________ When god closes one door, he always opens another, even though sometimes it's hell in the hallway.

RE: A couple of war milks - 10/8/2008 4:35:49 PM    pyshodoodle   Posts: 398 Joined: 8/3/2008 From: Lehigh Valley PA Status: offline ok - found a good guide regarding venomous and non-venomous snakes.. some things on the list I don't think I would want to get that close to verify. non-venomous snake Round pupils No sensing pit Head slightly wider than neck Divided anal plate Double row of scales on the underside of the tail venomous snake Eliptical pupils Sensing pit between eye and nostril Head much wider than neck Single anal plate Single scales on the underside of the tail Attachment (1) _____________________________ When god closes one door, he always opens another, even though sometimes it's hell in the hallway.
