Wednesday 3/10/10 1930s Dump Dig - 3/11/2010 9:18:02 AM    KBbottles   Posts: 623 Joined: 2/24/2010 From: South Brunswick, NJ Status: offline Hello all, So I scored a day off and went to a local dump site here in New Jersey.  Same site as last time.  I met a regular digger at the site who claims only 50% of the dump is dug and he's been at it for 10 years.  Told me of a couple of instances where he has dug up two crates of blob bottles that were tossed... jealous!  Very knowledgeable guy and turned me toward another site a little further away that yields older stuff and sometimes good poison bottles.  Can't wait to check that one out.  Always good to network with the folks you meet in the field.  Here are the majority of my finds.  I still have 6 more quart milk bottles soaking in the tub along with a bunch of smaller bottles and will post better pictures with my better camera soon.  Hopefully tonight.  Mostly common stuff, but I found some different milk bottles that are interesting along with a couple of jars that I haven't seen before.  Here's a list of my main finds.  All ABM.  I'll update once the other bottles are clean too.  1.  Sheffield Milk Quart (Doesn't say where it's from) 2.  Maplewood Dairy Quart - Jamesburg, NJ 3.  Hightstown Guernsey Quart 4.  Forsgate Farms Pint 5.  Paulus Dairy Pint - New Brunswick 6.  Forsgate Farms 1/2 pints - found a few of these that vary. 7.  Borden's half pint - Doesn't say location 8.  Ball Perfect Mason - aqua blue 9.  Ball Ideal - aqua blue 10.  White Crown Mason - aqua blue 11.  Lustre - R.E. Tongue & Bros Phila (Mason jar) 12.  Bumsteads Worm Syrup 13.  Gudes Pepto Mangan 14.  3 oz The Rexall Store 15.  Large size Milk of Magnesia cobalt 16.  Larger Lysol 17.  The Tarrant Co Chemists NY 18.  Large Bromo Seltzer 19.  Bourjois (the non screw-top version) 20.  Three different wine bottles one being Dubonnet (I know... common stuff, but I liked the colors.) 21.  Small screw-cap train figural (Anybody know of these?) 22.  Green depression teacup with embossed grapes and fruit. 23.  Small green depression salt dish. 24.  2 Cokes - One from Newark the other from NY So.... Mostly common stuff but I decided to keep it.  I'm thinking of putting together a couple of lots of the pretty but common bottles for an upcoming auction.  There are people out there that buy them for decorating, etc... Anyway, here's a pic to start that might be a little blurry.  I'll get the real camera out tonight hopefully and take some better close-ups.  Attachment (1) _____________________________ Looking for rumford bottles of every size and color.

It is all glass, clear, blown bottle with opening at the front end with a cork closure. The approx. measurements are 3 3/4" long, 1 5/8" high and cab top is 1 1/8" wide. The container is marked on the left side under the stack "E3s - 7/8 oz." and "1028" under the cab. On the right side it is marked "1028" under the cab and on the cylinder "PATENTED". In the circular hollow on the cab end a "4" is impressed. The wheels, cab top, windows, and top of the domes are stippled. This candy container was manufactured for the Turney H Stough Company of Jeannette, PA. There were several glass houses which produced the glass containers for them. Turney himself designed and drew up the specifications for the molds. The Turney H Stough Company was active from 1939 -1964. . _____________________________ Looking for rumford bottles of every size and color. (in reply to TreasurDiggrNY) Post #: 10
