1840's privy

[JGUIS]

I finally dug an old hole in my hometown, and although it's nice to know that all the old holes aren't sterile, it was a bummer to find out they were dipped. Hole was about 8 foot deep, full of seeds, and the corner closest to the alley had trash packed in it from the dippers cleaning it out. Lots of very nice stuff, all in pieces. []

All bottles were pontils, and included an octagon ink with pour spout, I'm guessing the big neck was a wine. The rest of it was in pieces, with no embossing. A Dr. D. Jayne's Life Preservative, a pint scroll flask w/stars, a Louisville eagle in a light green, a puff, and a yellow dock & sarsaparilla from cinci. There was a couple small pieces of amber, but not enough to identify, and a stopper. Here are pieces of slipware/mocha, any one of them I would have loved to find whole.
