Yesterdays finds from sales - 11/15/2009 7:32:49 AM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 1921 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline Here's yesterdays pickups I hit 1 estate sale 3 flea markets. But I scored big on a rare local stoneware jug. Also got some nice tins and bottles. 1st pic is the find of the day a 1/2 gal local whiskey jug from Lexington Tenn it was a flea market find. I saw the old lady sit it out. I said how much I thought she would blow me away when she said $8 I needed a heart pill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I paid her and had to ask where did you get that she said it was in our old smoke house at the farm ! I'm stll in shell shock from it last one I had years ago was $500+ even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then bob Attachment (1) _____________________________ McDirt Post #: 1

It a pre WW2 era stop sign of steel with the raised letters . This was yellow and black and then after the colors changed in 1950 to red white it was repainted. I am going to restore it to yellow and black you don't see a lot of the original signs like this . I gave $2 for it. bob Attachment (1) _____________________________ McDirt (in reply to digger mcdirt) Post #: 2

RE: Yesterdays finds from sales - 11/15/2009 7:37:40 AM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 1921 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline Here's a nice big 50's -early 60's era tin with the panel truck on the side. It's a early one no zip code on it. I see a lot of the later ones with zip from the 60's-early 70's era but not many of the older ones. Also a nice hot pink unopened pull tab Tab .

The Milkay seems to always have St louis and the Nesbitts I never see with a town. Both of these had a town on rear.

RE: Yesterdays finds from sales - 11/15/2009 4:48:06 PM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 1921 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline Those are nice. I see a few Milkays with a city but most have just the St louis Back. The NuGrape you have is the 2nd style of the acl. The larger one is a little later. bob _____________________________ McDirt (in reply to TJSJHART) Post #: 13

RE: Yesterdays finds from sales - 11/15/2009 10:10:57 PM    digger mcdirt   Posts: 1921 Joined: 8/8/2005 Status: offline I believe they used the same design from the 40's-all the way through the 70's. I can date them before the early 60's by no zip code on the cities. But as far as exact date I can't. I see several of the newer 60's-70's with the zips on them and they still had the same truck. I bought it just because I knew it had to be a least late 50's and back. BOB _____________________________ McDirt (in reply to glass man) Post #: 17
