I found this guy under my house. It’s an odd size and also has odd threading pattern on its lip. I know they can be dated by the different “Ball” logo styles, but it’s juuust a little too small to clearly see it.
Good to know. It likely contained ginger beer, from what I read? I did dig around a little more, and found an old boot black bottle, and some marbles. The hard clay soil and brick rubble makes digging in New Orleans a bit of a challenge.
Yep that’s definitely it! I found online that H Kennedy was a brewery in Glasgow 1866-1929. I wonder if the numbers in the middle indicate different batches or something?
I found this while digging in my back yard. (I live in New Orleans, 9th Ward) It was about 18” deep and it’s location was likely the site of the privy. I can’t quite make out the stamp but my best guess is “H KENNEDY 8 GLASGOW”. Anyone have a better guess? I’m so curious about it!
