Hello all and Happy Boo Day!!! Got to dig for a few hours and brought home a few goodies, but nothing spectacular. The crier of the day was a 7 1/2" tall amber medicine embossed on one side / Maslico Medicine Company Dansville, Ills. and the other side / Gladstone's Celery Compound and Pepsin Compound. It has a hole on one side and cracked up pretty bad. Found several pieces of this bottle before in this dump, so I am sort of glad to find 85% of one just to read all of the embossing and try to research the bottle. Next one will hopefully be whole. Found a few foods ( 2 big olive bottles, a multi-sided Heinz jar patented 1891). A light olive wine, a Duffy's Malt Whiskey ( sixth to come out of this dump ), a bulbous amber Vinol patented 1898, a tiny sample Kilmer's Kidney Cure, a Bromo, a stoneware master ink J. Bourne & Son Seth Arnold, and a couple lids. I also found a trade token which has Good for 50c Merchandise on one side and the front is pratically worn smooth. Robert

This company must have made a fortune back in it's hayday. Worthless, but still a good looking bottle. Duffy's Malt Whiskey Rochester, NY.

This was the shard of the day. An amber Jack Daniel shard. I am sure hoping there will be a whole one of these eventually.

I saw a guy dig a clear one before. One of these days.
