Went on a fun and exhausting adventure today exploring a very inhospitable land long forgotten by time. A few things from over 100 years ago lay plainly visible on the surface in some places while in other places I had to dig through thick mud to get to them.
Here's a picture of all the day's finds still in the field:
The bottles are as follows in order from left to right:
1. H. Straehle of New Rochelle, N.Y.
2. Citrate of Magnesia
3. Theo Young of 165th & 166th St Union Ave N.Y.
4. Bailis Bros. of Mt. Vernon Registered 1929
5. Mt. Vernon Dairy Co. Inc. of Irvington, N.J.
6. Coca-Cola of New Bern, North Carolina
7. There's also a harmonica reed.
Here's everything cleaned up:
Some close ups:
The embossed information is as follows: "Directions: Adults dose as a purgative one bottle, as a laxative half a bottle. Children over 8 years, one to two wine glass fulls. Infants as advised by physician."
Theo Young in situ under the mud:
North Carolina coke in situ. Still don't understand how it ended up in NY, maybe someone sailed up from the Outer Banks to vacation in the nice cool waters of NY:
Even a harmonica reed:
