RE: Back to the Old dump - 3/3/2010 12:39:02 PM    logueb   Posts: 2885 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Did a little googling at lunch and found out that the Little Red Riding Hood figurine was probably a fairing.  Had no idea what a fairing was, so I googled that.  Appears that a lot of small figurines were made specifically for the fair buisness to be given away as prizes.  Another category of collecting that I never knew existed.  I know that the piece I found is absolutely worthless.  But I got a history lesson and learned things that I didn't know, just by throwing the thing into the bucket.  That is one reason I like this hobby so much.  Everyday there's something new, and the more you research the more you learn.  You all have a blessed day and if I find anything of interest I'll post.  Buster. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

It is about an hour away from me here in Washington. Thanks for the great pictures. I'd love to have a partial bottle for my Chero collection if you were interested in selling or trading. Send me a PM if you would be interested. Thanks again! Tom _____________________________ Always looking for ACLs and Georgia Chero Colas (in reply to logueb) Post #: 232

RE: Back to the Old dump - 3/4/2010 9:18:24 PM    willong   Posts: 120 Joined: 4/22/2009 From: Port Angeles, WA Status: offline Hi Buster, In response to what you were saying about learning something new (fairing) as a result of bottle digging. I probably mentioned this in an earlier post, but I get a kick, too, from interpreting some of my finds and visualizing who lived/worked at a site, and how they used some of the items found in their dumps. Things aren't very old out here in western Washington State--an old site would date in the 1880's. Early log skidding was done with teams of oxen or draft horses. By the 1890's most of the logging camps were already using steam "donkey" yarders. A logging camp dump that I dug near Granite Falls contained a considerable quantity of sawn ox bones. I've often wondered: Did they slaughter their yoke oxen after buying a steam donkey, or did they simply expediently feed an ox to the woods crew when it got injured or grew too old to pull its weight any longer? I also noted the small size (by today's standards) of the soles of discarded "cork boots" in the dump. Those guys were no strapping "Paul Bunyan." Rather, they were wiry Scandinavians and Tarheels who could endure a full day pulling a "misery whip." Regards, Will   (in reply to logueb) Post #: 235
