    Insulator Lot

    I purchased this lot of 5 insulators at a yard sale this past weekend. From left to right: B; HEMINGRAY No10; BROOKFIELD; BROOKFIELD 4; BROOKFIELD NEW YORK. I am not a collector, and I am guessing that each are worth between 1 - 5$ each. Am I correct in this assumption or is there...

    Privy Dig Under Standing Outhouse

    I was always reluctant to dig under standing outhouses. Most of the outhouses in my area are either decorations or are used as sheds or outbuildings with concrete floors. So when one of my wife's friends (yeah, my wife got me a permission, I couldn't believe it!) invited me over to dig under...

    I picked this aqua GI-37 up at a local auction recently. As you see the lip is rough, my question: Is the lip damaged or is it a defect. Thanks Tom

    White Stopper

    I found this stopper in the top layer of an 1860-80's pit. Is this just a common decanter top or does anyone have any specific info on the bottle (or decanter?) that it belongs to? Thanks Tom

    Should I Stay(home) or Should I Go(find a privy)

    One recent Saturday afternoon my wife annouced that she was going to bring the kids to visit her parents. Hmm.. it's 3:30pm, do I have time to line up and start a dig or should I wait until Sunday morning? I'm not going to wait until the morning! So I set out, my second permission request...

    What came first, the privy or the tree root?

    I was out yesterday digging a stone lined square when I uncovered a large tree root at about 3 feet down. I couldn't tell if the privy was built around the root or if the root had grown after the privy was in use. Did a digger before me cut the root to be able to dig further or did the builder...

    P. HALL PHILa

    I recieved a call from a construction site yesterday that bottles came out of the ground and I better get to the site by 3:30pm. Naturally I had a full schedule, but I had a feeling it would be worth my while to meet up with the caller. So I rearranged my day and drove an hour and a half to...

    Help with Value of CHIPPYS

    I don't follow modern sodas very closely and need help with this bottle. This CHIPPYS Delaware Co Bottling Works came out of a wall at a building demo and is in very good condition. Is this a common $2 - $3 bottle or is it worth more? Thanks. Tom

    Druggist(?) shard

    We’ve had a string of nice days, clear skies and temperatures in the 70’s here in PA, perfect weather for digging of course. Got out yesterday, it was a last minute opportunity from a terrific property owner who invited me to dig soon after I introduced myself. I probed a woodliner behind...

    Brick Round Under Parking Space 13

    I had the fortune of being invited to a dig with a group of seasoned diggers this past weekend. Shortly after meeting up at the site, we broke through the surface and found a narrow brickliner. We got right to work clearing out the top of the privy and working our way down. We slugged our way...

    Woman...PLEASE let me out of this house with my shovels and probe...

    I just want to find a woodliner and dig it for a couple hours, maybe read some shards..... That's all I'm asking. I'm not looking for a 28 foot bricklined... I'll be home in time to cut the grass and take the kids to the pool!!

    Help with blue pitcher

    I purchased this pitcher at an estate auction about 15 years ago. Its nothing like anything in my collection, because of it great color and features it a keeper. If anyone could provide any information about its age and maker I'd really appreciate it. Thanks Tom.
