Our First brickliner - 5/25/2009 10:18:14 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    Me and my Bro got out today and hit an early hole. I got the permission a few weeks ago and followed it up today. I don't have  time to post any pics but the best three finds were an "All Right" fruit jar, a scroll flask, and a pipe with the face and name of Franklin Peirce. It's fantastic! Hopefully Craig will post a photo of it soon. I also got some pretty good shots and a little action footage also. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

RE: Our First brickliner - 5/26/2009 1:40:27 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    My buddy Charlie, My brother Craig and I got the bonus of digging two holes in one yesterday. By the time I showed up at the hole my brother had been there over a half hour and had chipped the asphalt into a rectangular outline. We knocked out that and had to tackle about 4" of concrete that hadn't lost a bit of it's strength due to age. But once below the pavement it was about two feet or so of very soft cinders. There it was the wall of our first "Brick-Liner". The first bottle to come out was embossed "KENNEDY'S / SALT RHUEM. / OINTMENT" Nice bulbous shaped bottle. Then it was a mix of Broken and a few unbroken bottles until the find of the day. Here it was....A "Face-Pipe" in Redware and it was embossed on the lapel "President" (on one side) and "FR. PIERCE"(on the other).   While finishing up the first hole I noticed a hole in the brick. After a little digging and probing it turned out to be a 3 sided woodlined privy. The first broken bottle to come out was local. "PHILO CLARK" / "STEUBENVILLE, O." there was also one I had dug before that I really liked. Jesse H. Lippencott Pittsburgh. Tapered sauce bottle. Heres a few photos of the dig. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 3

RE: Our First brickliner - 5/26/2009 2:28:45 PM    junkyard jack   Posts: 318 Joined: 3/23/2009 Status: offline Very nice finds. Love the scroll flask. I too had dug an "All Right" quart back in the mid 80's with no lid/clamp. Back then I had purchased a very nice reproduction closure for the jar from the late Phil Robinson. Very well-made & cost was $9.00. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 7

Woody put it a little too high, cleaned with a repro stopper, it would bring around $90-125, still very nice.

RE: Our First brickliner - 5/26/2009 7:40:45 PM    Staunton Dan Posts: 2251 Joined: 5/5/2005 From: Batesville, VA Status: offline Not only that but how do you know that there is a privy underneath in the 1st place? Digging up a dirt yard with no results is one thing but digging up asphalt? I suggested that maybe they are using GPR but I haven't received an answer yet. quote: ORIGINAL: GuntherHess How did you get someone to let you tear up thier parking lot? _____________________________ Just when you think that you have life figured out, someone changes the rules.
