SO Digger and I had some luck recently. We were digging a 1910-20 privy when this popped up. We'll take it- we've put in our time. After I found it I was hoping it had been cleaned out to that level and the remainder would be pontil. Not to be. But someone was kind enough to toss this bottle into privy about 1910.

WOW! That's a beauty! Pontiled I presume? It's always a nice unexpected treat to dig a nice late toss. Around here it's not too uncommon to find older bottles that were reused for bluing, as they still have the blue residue from their later purpose. One hole I dug must have been grandpa's shed they cleaned out as it was all civil war period whiskey flasks, all unembossed along with an ovoid jug in a 90's pit! Kept hoping for a Pikes Peak, or something, as every flask looked like one but with every wipe they were blanks! Musta dug a dozen of 'em! Jack

Hey Cliff, Thanks for the additional photos. Wish we had Fondle Vision. That is a great recovery, especially amongst Edwardian era stuff. I believe you're mistaken on the Tod side: http://www.sodasandbeers.com/SABSearchResults.aspx? [align=center]
