Just before I found the rare oddball Pitchers Castoria at one Construction site, I revisited another site close by. Both these site had big Buildings torn down about 6 months before. It was fenced up & debris hauled away 6 moths ago. But now just dirt piles been sitting there for 6 months with no progress done. When I went to these 2 sites 6 months ago I picked up a couple of bottles off the top of the dirt. Then 6 months later I figured maybe all the raining in past 6 months might of washed out or revealed some bottles hidden in the dirt. Sure enough it did. Here's what I seen & found on my revisit.

Then I see this bottle top sticking out of the dirt, just seeing part of that neck I automatically knew what is was. LEON.P1010695.jpgP1010696.jpg

Ends up being a Sweet Sixteen ACL Detroit Soda Bottle from the 1940's or 50's. Better then a poke in the eye I guess. LEON.P1010697.jpgP1010697 - Copy.jpg

I didn't clean it yet. Usually when you find a ACL like this that has wet moist dirt on it you need to let it dry out for about a month. If you try to clean the same day you find it good chance you'll wipe the colors right off. LEON.
