    Cleveland flask embossed twice w/ poison

    Moved some dirt yesterday in my favorite dump ( been digging there for almost 30 years). Not a lot to show except this one pint flask. I haven't seen it before but it's probably common? Just thought it was neat as the word poison is embossed twice on it. M. BERNSTEIN & SON WINES & LIQUORS...

    Hey Bob, I'm glad the "explosion" and release of that metal bail didn't damage your BC. :) I'll remember this in case I find a full one. Crack it open, BEFORE you surface. Bill

    SLATE CLEANER

    Hi Red, Reading the patent information further, it would appear that there was a cork (with a small hole in it, to allow water to pass) in the mouth. A sponge would be wired to the cork and would be used to wipe the chalk marks off. A screw cap would be fastened to the thread on the bottom...

    SLATE CLEANER

    Wow! Exceptionally neat! I have never seen it before. It's from Connecticut. That ribbed end actually served an important function. Here is the patent. http://www.google.com/patents?id=ttJoAAAAEBAJ&printsec=abstract&zoom=4#v=onepage&q&f=false Bill
