Somebody in the house was sick for a long time... We found dozens of these pill vials.

A very early jar lid, probably to a lightning jar. Has a bunch of 60's patent dates, the latest is 68.

An early bottle from a local druggist, J. P. Scherff of Bloomfield. He started business in 1875, this broken med is probably from less than a decade later.

One other bottle worth mentioning... But it's not with me right now, I'll post it in two weeks when I have it back. It's safe to say it's the best bottle of the dig though!

A cliff hanger, eh? [;)]
Nice post Wheelie, glad you're leaving no stone un-turned in your bottle quest..!

Man, that does look like a tough dig! At least you found some bottles. I have two of those fruit jar lids. One is thick and heavy and the other is a bit thinner. I'm sure the jar they go on will ring a bell, but I'm lost for now.
