The ground was only frozen to 3" - then it's smoot... - 12/7/2006 9:12:53 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Here are my finds today.  There's a 10 cent token and a tag.  A little tiny perfume or something with a little red bulb-cap.  I've found a couple of these...just think they're fun.  The Higgins ink is a little older than I typically find in my dump, and has a dulled appearance to it.  There's a nice porcelin saltshaker, a couple food jars, and a Lysol.  I didn't have a decent Lysol with the script on it, so had to keep this one.  I also found an older Vapo-Cresolene.  On the left is the typical ones I find.  The one on the right (from today) has more of an aqua color and a cruder neck and rim.  Hadn't seen one like it yet in my dump, so I kept it.  Nothing to write home about, but it;s good to get out and dig!!  Oh....I forgot to include them...I found 2 doll eyes.  I love finding those - they always wierd me out a litte when they peek out of the dirt at me.

I could never figure out what the heck it was. Could this be the lid for it? Attachment (1) _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed. (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 7

Starts at 1 and goes all the way to 12. The top says "This Cup holds a Heaping Dessert Spoonful??" _____________________________ Life is easy with your eyes closed. (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 9

My wife loves those things. The glass with the grapes in the bottom is a jelly glass. Jelly was sold in dinner glasses as a bonus. Cool finds Tim. Glad to see you have a little time to dig. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 11

The Vapo-Cresolenes came in both mold-blown and ABM. Even though they are common, I still like Vapo-Cresolene bottles. There's nothing else quite like them and it is fun to collect the different sizes, variations and colors. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time. http://www.freewebs.com/lewistownbottles/index.htm (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 15
