got bored so poked around at an older dump site I had originally found a couple years ago , its a small dump near a lake but actual dump itself is covered , what I found was an area near the road where stuff got tossed but not in the main dump .

in terms of bottles finds were extremely limited , lots of liquor bottles and jars there but really no soda bottles or non broken milk jugs

did find 1 broken clear Canada dry bottle and parts of 3 milk jugs but no names of them

also found some sauce bottles and other small bottles

part of a toy car said it was a firetruck , its to the right of the small blue jar

also some cans which I will discuss in next post but it felt like deja vu

this can isn't in great shape but is a Jocko Chocolate drink flat top can , not sure of exact age but assume 60's era ? or earlier maybe , it was made by a company from Toronto Ontario

found a picture online of what one looks like in better condition ,

I am like that too. Never throw anything away. Yes i do have alot of boxes. I really have to label what is in each box on a piece of paper taped to the top. This way i know at a glance what is in it.

didn't find this in dump but rather along the road there ,it was lying in some leaves and by itself , appeared to have been used for target practice years ago , some bullet holes in it you can't really see them all . not sure of exact age but its an old kettle so been there for some time

Suprised the handle is there. Is that aluminum? I found a black cast aluminum kettle has 3 legs and a star on the bottom. Dont know if it had a lid but i would guess so. The handle was probably like you teapot. It has rusted away or Missing when Thrown away. I never could find any information on it.

Surprised the handle is not rusted away. Is the teapot aluminum. I found a black cast aluminum kettle. It might be missing the lid and handle if it ever had them. It has a star on the bottom. I can't find any information on it. I kept it anyway.

I had 2 of those Jocko's many years ago. At that time I was told they were rare & a few people seemed to be Interested in them. I traded one away & kept the better one for awhile. My Better one Dave Tanner the soda Book Publisher wanted a pic of mine for his Book so it's in his Book. Pics below. LEON.

P.S. I believe I got your other Duquesne Beer Can you found in that dump a few years ago.
