What's the story with this bottle?? Waaaay cool. This is some seriously old stuff.

The majority of the bottles were 1815-1840. I added a photo to show the color of the cologne. Also, Ray eluded to the challenges of this hole. It was previously dug (partly. The back half of the pit was partially exposed down to 12 feet, several years ago, when the houses at the back of the property were built. A couple of diggers wers able to recover part of the layer. They stopped when they felt it was unsafe. Luckily, they left a couple of nice things.

Picture file was too large. The color is a puce/rootbeer color.

One last shot. I found this stuff to be very interesting. I had never heard of open pontil windowpanes before. Quite a bit came up. The photo is not very good. Maybe Ben Franklin peeked through!
