Re: Now I have to dig deeper I went back out after the thunderstorms, and did some more digging. In one spot, I almost had 3 bottles. Unfortunately, only one came out whole. The first hole I dug had the Hudson, a bunch of pieces from a Peter Hauck & Co., and the thing that looks like a shoe...- JohnN

Now I have to dig deeper I went back out today, and only found one whole bottle, and a Pabst Milwaukee with the top busted off. These bottles were probably a foot down, so I guess I'll need to dig deeper in some spots. I did some more probing after I was done digging, and hit some more glass...- JohnN

Doing some further research, I believe the bottle actually says "LePage," which would make it a glue or ink bottle. In fact, LePage glue is still in business. http://www.thecakelady.ca/lepagesglue/gallery.html http://www.lepageproducts...ductDetail.aspx?pid=87- JohnN

This is about the size of your typical Vaseline bottle, about 2.5" tall and 2" wide. When I search the Google for LePace's it suggests "Did You Mean LePage's?" I wonder if the bottle is really LePage with a G that looks like a C?- JohnN

Here's my newest finds. I might have left out a slick med or 2, not sure. Can anyone tell me anything about the LePace's jar? When I found it, the bottom was broken off, but I superglued it together.- JohnN

On another forum I am a member of, someone said that the fancy bottle is a mini liquor bottle that they used to serve at hotels. Full post: http://njbottles.com/inde...msg24867.html#msg24867- JohnN

Ok, just got my tetanus shot, so now I shouldn't have to worry about lockjaw. Prescription insurance didn't cover it, so that's $73 down the drain. My mom is looking to see if doctor insurance covers it.- JohnN

The past 2 days, I have found some more bottles, which I will post pictures of eventually. As far as my cut, it looks fine, but I think I will get a tetanus shot tomorrow of Thurs. If not for this cut, it will be for the future ones I will inevitably get.- JohnN

Perfume? Sample Whiskey? I have no clue
Well, looks like I accidentally posted this in Before 1900, when it should probably be in After 1900. I found this in a dump that seems to range from around 1910s +/- to 1930s.- JohnN

I really don't have anything more to say than what has already been said here. As everyone has said, it won't be the same without him on here. Sorry for your loss.- JohnN

Perfume? Sample Whiskey? I have no clue
The other day, I dug this "thing" up. At first I thought inkwell, but I don't think inkwells ever came in this shape. I posted this along with my other finds in the Digging and Finding section, and someone mentioned it may be a sample whiskey or flavoring bitters. It seems the people that used...- JohnN

The only lines I can see on the "thing" are on the panels. There's no evidence of it being turn-molded or such. The base is smooth, no pontil marks or anything. I'll see if I can get close up pictures of the panels and the base and update this post with them. I might also post this in the "What...- JohnN

I suppose that's a possibility. The other thing I want to mention is that the flat panels on the neck look like they might have been ground flat, rather than being blown that way.- JohnN

On the bottle that might be a perfume, I for the life of me cannot find any seams. Any thoughts on what that means?- JohnN
