rain held off - 9/23/2006 9:04:03 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2009 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline I went out today and we dug one privy and started a well. Only one marble and a broken pontiled medicine I assume as it was unembossed. We got started on the well and are down about 6 feet finding a lot of stinsons shoe polish from buffalo and also these sweet shards of an awesome piece of majolica. This would have been a nice find! Also an amber Father John's and a Dill's balm of life norristown pa. Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

The well seems prmising and it was only 3 feet away from the pontil privy. Maybe the well went dry and they put a privy next to it. Maybe they just dumped in it and kept the privy clean is all I can guess. Attachment (1) _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 3

It's an amber beer, blown glass, and says Schmul Bach Brewing Co. Wheeling, W.VA. on it. I'm not trying to sell or trade it, but could you ask your friend about it for me? I'm just curious as to if it's a common one or one that's hard to come by. Thanks for any help you can give me on this one. Chris Capley Attachment (1) (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 7

RE: rain held off - 9/25/2006 10:59:09 AM    baltbottles   Posts: 829 Joined: 11/25/2002 From: Baltimore Maryland Status: offline Thats a very nice earthworm decorated mocha ware bowl. the age on the one with the green decorated turned edge are usually pre 1830s and i usually find these in a 1800-1820 contex so its a bit older then you probably realize. But its not an uncommon thing to find early shards in the top of a hole and the use layer to be much newer.
