RE: some from the archives - 6/8/2008 8:54:43 PM    beendiggin Posts: 547 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline I found a listng for Bengal Chutney in Zumwalts book, page 45, but it says its from Brisbane(Australia)  Anyway , it looks different from yours so maybe Bengal Chutney is just a type of chutney. I'd try researching S.F. Beer Co. next. _____________________________ Paul Let no cobalt skull that can belong to me belong to another. (in reply to downeastdigger) Post #: 41

Many of these are common, a few are pretty scarce, but I like the rainbow of colors together. Sorry the pic isn't great, I need to work on getting some backlighting in there. ~Jim Attachment (1) _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time.

You got some nice pontiled stuff there, was it all dug in Kentucky? in privies or dumps? I've never seen yellow potter like those two cone top cylinders before. I think I remember when you dug that big American Oil bottle, what an awesome piece! That was like a year ago, if I remember correctly. Continued good luck digging.

RE: some from the archives - 6/10/2008 3:40:23 PM    Jim Posts: 2268 Joined: 7/5/2005 From: Lewistown, PA Status: online Thanks, Bram. The big cobalt cylinder is embossed DANL. S. DENGLER & SON/ PHILADA. in cursive script. It dates around 1900. 99% of these bottles were dug from privies. I don't do much dump digging anymore, but have pulled a few nice bottles from the dumps. The Dengler bottle was one of them, my buddy dug it in a 30s dump along with another one like it that was broken. ~Jim _____________________________ Preserving our buried history, one pit at a time.
