2 Mass. bottles

Found these with an excavator under 3 feet of frost in western, Mass. Winter can slow me down, but it will never stop me from looking for bottles.

Nice, what's it say on that blob top? Speaking of winter, they've forcasted 14 - 18" of snow over here in Maine tomorrow thru friday.[&:] I'll never get going on that privy dig![&o]

Hey, Norm...

They changed the forecast for us down here in western Mass.... Mostly rain now with a minimum of snow accumulation...

A better look...

"CLARK & ROBERTS"
"BOSTON, MASS"

and

"DAVIS PHARMACY"
"FLORENCE, MASS"

Both bottles dug up in a job site in florence. Cool when you get a true local bottle in a small town like this.

Hey Ron, Sandwiched between northampton and amherst. Two very old towns. I am constantly thinking "Now if I lived 150 years ago, Where would i have thrown a bottle?"

So, what do you think, 1900 or so on the age?

 

[Maine Digger]

Look to be in nice shape too. Is it just me, or is it unusual to find a blob top on a pharmacy bottle? I figurd it for a beer or soda from you first pic. About the rain, yeah it's staying south of Portland Maine area, we're gonna get buried again.[8D]

Opps! I just realized I had transposed the lables, so the blob probably IS a Boston Beer []

I have a lot of digging to do at this job site. Can't wait till spring.

Hey dig...

I always figure bottles of that type and look to be late 19th/early 20th century...Also known as the turn of the century...

By the way, I comute to Hadley 5 days a week, occasionaly six...
