Is it a Dump?

Howdy all, I have dug privies before but never a dump (that I know of). I found an area that is a steep ravine behind some 1890-1910 homes with a river at the bottom. Played here as a kid and came back after I growed up and got the bottle bug. There is a lot of glass trash lying around...

Dyottville Glassworks squat

Hello- I have a question regarding a squat soda or mineral water I recently bought on Ebay. The only embossing it has shows Dyottville Glassworks Philada. My question is why would this bottle not have any bottler name on it? I think its a bit early for paper labels and why would any vendor...
