Here are my finds today. There's a 10 cent token and a tag. A little tiny perfume or something with a little red bulb-cap. I've found a couple of these...just think they're fun. The Higgins ink is a little older than I typically find in my dump, and has a dulled appearance to it. There's a nice porcelin saltshaker, a couple food jars, and a Lysol. I didn't have a decent Lysol with the script on it, so had to keep this one. I also found an older Vapo-Cresolene. On the left is the typical ones I find. The one on the right (from today) has more of an aqua color and a cruder neck and rim. Hadn't seen one like it yet in my dump, so I kept it. Nothing to write home about, but it;s good to get out and dig!! Oh....I forgot to include them...I found 2 doll eyes. I love finding those - they always wierd me out a litte when they peek out of the dirt at me.

I'll include a couple more. These two are from a couple days ago - my favorites for the month thus far. I've got a number of these old chemical bottles, but this was the first amber one. Wish I'd found the amber stopper, too. The other is just a Johnson's American Anodyne Linament..picture got a little blurry - sorry.

This was my heartbreaker for today. Again, as far as value goes, this is apparently not a chart-topper, but it would have been a first for me, and the color is absolutely gorgeous...but alas, it was busted. I brought it home to find out what it was. I like the rim, which says "Take Next Dose At." The cobalt cup would fit over the top and there were numbers around the rim of the cup so you could set the time for the next dose. Anyone have a picture of the cup?

And the last one is just a normal looking dinner glass but the bottom has a cluster of grapes embossed into it. Kinda neat.

Oh - oops. In the first picture the clear bottle in the back is a Larkins Soap.

Yooper maybe you finally solved my mystery. I could never figure out what the heck it was. Could this be the lid for it?

Bryan,
I bet that's it!! I cant' make out the numbers on your, but they should be around the bottom (rim). If my bottle were whole, we could match these up. Maybe I'll find another one.

Wow, I thought that was decoration around the bottom but sure enough they're numbers. Starts at 1 and goes all the way to 12. The top says "This Cup holds a Heaping Dessert Spoonful??"
