I went digging at a town dump and found some stuff that wasn't melted like most of it[;)] I got a NDNR Pepsi, A HUGE kickup in this 1955 crown top bottle, Joliet, IL 7UP bottle, and a cool ammonia? bottle. The smalls were a ground stopper, 2 small plates with no marks, a cream bottle (in middle), candy jar lid and a white thing a majigger that I thought was weird. It has the threads on the outside. The coolest thing I got was a penicillin bottle, missing the needle and cork pusher thing a majigger[:D] Thanks for looking.

The last 2 pics won't brighten. Oh well, the last pic shows a 10/31/58 expiration date.

It doesn't have an address or anything. It's Tubex brand, so it probably came in a big bag or something.

Supposedly, this dump was opened around 1920. We dug about a foot deep and the rust layer was gone. Then we dug a little deeper and there was nothing. All this stuff was on the surface and 6 hours of actual digging didn't do anything. This place is about a football field long, but maybe 20 yards wide. It's on a ravine with a manmade crick at the bottom. We will revisit this site though. Thanks for looking.
