I'm pretty sure those two indent lines are repairs to the bottle from when it was made. I think if I remember, they would bring a bottle out of the mold, and there was a whole at a thin spot in the bottle, and they would pinch it together with a tool of some sort. I call them "pinch marks" but thats not what they are called. They are really interesting features of old bottles. Thanks for the pics

It's a pinched, half leaf semi globular insertion of the paraform indentation mark created when the tertiary footbox warmer was improperly heated before the insertion of the punty rod and iron residue in (powderrd form). Thereby collapsing the molecular structure of the glass, creating a hole or rift if you will in the structure of time and space.

 Geez Lobes! You  crack me up!

Amanda - nice finds! Keep in mind that farm privies are not usually loaded like town privies. They had lots of land to dump their garbage on, so it didn't need to go "down the hole".... Not saying it's empty, but I'd concentrate more on areas where you know there's stuff for now, rather than worrying where the privy was.

Some of my favorite thoughts about Trespassers:

Piglet used to live in a Beech Tree, south of Pooh's house, 100 Acre Wood Southwest. Next to this house was a piece of a broken sign which read, "Trespassers W." This was believed to be Piglet's grandfather's name, and it is short for "Trespassers Will", which is short for "Trespassers William". Piglet's grandfather had had two names in case he lost one.
