Galveston Dig
My last dig was cool and rainy. I appreciated the weather with summer just around the corner. I probed out a promising spot near the side walk. Turned out to be a trashpit. I recovered around 50 bottles, mostly slick whisky flasks, but also some perfumes and cures. I did find one local...- webe142

Texas Hotel Bottles.....
I recently picked up these two bottles. One from Houston and one from Galveston. I am theorizing (sounds better then guessing) that these were either creamers, or maybe used to serve something like an aperitif. Can anyone confirm or guess with me? Does anyone have something similar? From...- webe142

Barq's Root Beer
A lot of good info on this thread, but I did leave a little confused on when the barq's acls started. 1934 or 1939. Ive been reading up because I dug this. It appears to be date coded 1937 and Im curious as to whether it would have been an acl or not.- webe142

Galveston Dig
I probed out a promising spot near the alley. Unfortunately it was mostly slick pharmacy bottles and flasks except for the Newbro's. There was wood at depth so I thought I would try trenching along it. That's how I discovered the hutches.- webe142

Crude bubbly flask....looking for opinions
I found this flask going through some of my dad's things. All he could say about it was that his dad said it was a confederate canteen. Idk about that, but on the other end of the spectrum, a different source speculated maybe European origin. Love the bubbles and crude lip. Base has an area...- webe142

Galveston Dig
OLEANDER CITY BOTTLING WORKS GALVESTON TEXAS Galveston really hyped the oleanders. An unofficial moniker. You could buy post cards of the oleander lined streets to send back as souvenirs. I might have one. I'll post if I can track it down.- webe142

Galveston Dig
Dug a new spot today and found some goodies. Everything was found in the top 8"-18" in a sparse trash layer. I think it was the interface between dredge material from raising the island and them bringing in top soil for lawns.- webe142
