I would try to get under that building somehow. That's always paid off for me. Seems like a good spot. Lots of oyster shell and coal everywhere. The property owner thinks i'm a little kooky though. Any privy may be paved over. Guessing it would be between the house and the carriage house? (in reply to beendiggin) Post #: 8

We found three sizes of this bottle. This is the largest and the smallest. The middle size is at my mother's house. They'll be reunited soon enough... It reads: Frank P. Houston Apothecary West Grove, PA. We're from, and were digging in, West Grove which made these bottles very exciting for us. Attachment (1) (in reply to rpinkham) Post #: 9

When I pull one out of the ground, I picture in my mind how the drug store looked at the time that particular bottle was in use. How the inside of the store looked,what was on the shelves. etc One of the fun things about bottle digging,bottle dreaming. _____________________________ My web site. Lots of privy and dump dig pictures. Also dig story's I had published in Antique Bottle & Glass Collector magazine and Western & Eastern Treasure's www.19thcenturybottlediggers.com (in reply to PhilaJDH) Post #: 11

I like your outlook! For me, it matters little what we find. Its all about getting out there and "What is this doing here and how did it get here? The original apothecary was just across the tracks. The little dig was behind the local drs office. John, Cleaned this one up a little and the neck stayed on. Could not capture the color though...Thought it was a druggist but pretty sure its booze...
