I dug these up in my yard last year. It was a pretty small strip that I found them it; if the dump continued on down the hill, the rest of it is under the cement patio :(. I had fun digging them up and might do it again if the opportunity arises, but I'm really not a collector. I got a lot of...
I dug this up in my yard last year along with a handful of 1880's stuff. I assumed it was an ink bottle, but I couldn't find anything on line from my brief search. It has no seams, but seems very symmetrical. It's 4 inches high.
