I've never seen a Tombstone slugplate on anything but a Hutchinson/Hutch bottle before & wondered if they came on non hutch bottles? Hmmmmm, Interesting.LEON.

Yes it does! Stepped on it,6-13-18 030.jpg flush in the bottom and saw the blob top, so I dug it out, sort of a uncommon marking, although the brand is found often in Memphis.

That squat soda is beautiful! I wonder if it's a late throw or you're into an older part of the dump. If you've got a dump from the 1870s you've got a really good site. Those early 20th century sodas are nice as well, especially the amber one. Looks like a site with some great potential!
