Discovered an amazing new place! Began probing around in the clay and I hear *tink!* dig around and low and behold - a circle slug plate embossed whiskey flask!
The flask reads: "Honest Measure Simon Strauss Inc 221-223 W 116th ST 467 Columbus Ave N.Y. One Half Pint"

Found this today. It is a hand-tooled flask with a circle slug plate embossing that reads: Edward Rafter Importer New York City.
Can't find any information about Mr. Rafter or his imports buisness, perhaps it was just a short lived enterprise.
In situ:
The Gallagher Stores were a small chain of grocery stores that operated for a short time in New York City from 1902 until their closure in 1906. This is one of their tooled-lip, strap-sided, slug plate-embossed alcohol flasks.
I recently got this 1934 Leighty Pure Milk dairy bottle. It is the first one posted on this site. Seems like it's a hard to find bottle. Made by J. T. & A. Hamilton in Pittsburgh.
I dug this bottle in a 20s dump back in NY I was wondering if anyone has seen one like it because I can't find any examples online. I believe it to be pretty rare.
