Before it got oppressively hot out I had two fun digs where I didn't find a lot, but the keepers were good. First was a dump near my old apartment. I found my first amber square bitters, a Lash's Kidney & Liver Bitters. I know, not rare, but a nice looking bottle.

The second dig was at a newer (as in recently discovered) dump that was scattered but has quality stuff in it. A killer unlisted patent medicine from Manville, RI was the first good sign. The other nice botte/heartbreaker was a wild basket weave style green cologne with a pour spout and (broken) handle. Even damaged it's a looker! And no, it's not pontiled, everyone seems to think it is, but it is 1890s.

Thought it might be a Hood's Sarsaparilla
