The billhead sold for $1.99 and you might be able to get that seltzer for a song, and you may just find one or two of these jugs, you never know buddy.

Hit and miss!

I went back again today. The effectiveness of this dump seems to change every time I go there. I didn't strike out, but I didn't do so well either.

I got a Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce bottle. They're super common, but it's my first anyway.

Another common, I think. "HORLICK'S/ MALTED MILK"

Amber lid to something. It's too hot out, I'm too lazy to type any more.

RE: Hit and miss!

I dug my first whole plate. The shards are always incredibly tantalizing, but I'm more interested in the bottles than gluing back pottery.

The potters mark on the bottom says "GREENWOOD CHINA/ TRENTON N.J." I think the plate is 1880's.

It's a George Greason tooled crown top from Montclair.
Whats the specific name for the type on embossing on this bottle or the bottling company? I see alot of different bottles with different names but the same type of embossing and symbol. I just found a nice broken bottle, same type of embossing and symbol, but it says George Geiger Holyoke Mass. Theres just something extra cool about that type of embossing.

Beautiful finds Conner! One of these days you will find one of those awesome jugs. Your local collection is really starting to look fantastic! Also, when theres one cone ink, sometimes there are many more! Those carters come in just about every color imaginable too. Would be cool to collect them and create a color spectrum.
