Not your ordinary finds. - 2/20/2005 9:45:00 PM    Maine Digger   Posts: 823 Joined: 2/4/2004 From: Augusta, Maine Status: offline A while back I promised I would share some pictures from that 1900 ish dump I got into last autumn. Here's some of the more interesting finds, hope you enjoy them. I wish I had the mate to this one.

That little white jar is embossed with an 'A' in a triangle above the word milk. on the reverse it say's Japan.

RE: Not your ordinary finds. - 2/20/2005 10:05:47 PM    Maine Digger   Posts: 823 Joined: 2/4/2004 From: Augusta, Maine Status: offline another.. the bracket on the upper left is hand forged yet it has a spring to it, the long part can be flexed up and down on the pin bisecting it, the pick axe and pic are quite crude, the spherical item with the flat base is a horse reins weight, there's a hollow in the center with a rod to feed the reins through.

I would go berserk if I had found that Richardson M'F'G' Co. Plate, on the fact that Richardson is my last name. Again I like your finds and they cleaned up great!

RE: Not your ordinary finds. - 2/21/2005 2:04:16 AM    Maine Digger   Posts: 823 Joined: 2/4/2004 From: Augusta, Maine Status: offline Thanks for the replys guys, Mad, I believe the 'milk bottle' is part of a children's dish set. Kelley, the green bottle appears to be a liquor bottle, yes that's a school bus but with remnents of RED instead of yellow paint, unfortunately the 'passenger' side of the hood is broken off at the center seam, I've been trying to come up with a way to make a mirror cast of the driver's side so I can repair it. It's marked on the inside - 'Made by Arcade Mfg. Co. Freeport ILL. I also found a cast iron fire truck at the same dump, one of those that had the big steam pot on the back I'll post some more pictures. Brian, believe it or not, you're the first person that came to mind when I found that stove plate. I KNEW you would get a rise out of it! Tell you what, if you would like it, let's work something out. I'll be glad to send it your way in trade for some kind of Washington State bottle. But I'll have to think about the shipping, that plate is fairly heavy........ nah, tell you what, just pick up the actual shipping charge and it's yours. Drop me a pm. Brian, the weight is 2 lbs. 5 oz., not as heavy as I thought. < Message edited by Maine Digger -- 2/21/2005 6:58:44 PM > _____________________________ Norm Miller (in reply to Maine Digger) Post #: 12

RE: Not your ordinary finds. - 2/22/2005 2:59:59 AM    David E Posts: 995 Joined: 5/24/2004 Status: offline I can't find anything on an "A" in a triangle, But an item that is old and just says "Japan" and not made in Japan is prior to 1921 by act of congress. The green glass should be depression glass (pic seems to show it is a salt sharker) if so u right nice to have the pepper. Dave (in reply to Maine Digger) Post #: 14
