Me & Tom got out Yesterday for a Privy Dig. Had a good area & felt good with probe. But wasn't finding much. Until I found this killer Piece. LEON. P1060539.jpgP1060543.jpgP1060544.jpg

Thanks for the link, Interesting. The sign is not 1933-35 though. Every bottle found in the privy with the sign all date to prepro, or pre 1919. THANKS, LEON.

Ooh, that is NICE! I'd rather find something like that than pretty much any bottle, honestly. And it's even bottle-related to boot! I'd love to see a picture of it cleaned up.

Yes, All the bottles we found in this hole were common & I like & collect many Mt Clemens items. SO, I was very excited to find this. I have lots of Breweriana so this fits right in with my Labels also. LEON.PearFoamLabelPrePro.jpgPearlFoamLabel2.jpgPearlFamLabel3.jpg

Sweet sign, you have to show it cleaned up! If interested, the Tavern Trove web site has a variation for sale of the last label you posted.

Yeah, you're killing us! Man, what a great looking sign! I can't believe it wasn't crushed and crumpled like so many buried signs.

I haven't ever found an old sign when digging before , I'd be totally shocked if I dug something like that up , looks like a good find , nice colour and good condition for being in a hole

Is that a reverse painted glass-fronted sign? What a beautiful thing!
