Thanks for the tray picture. Love the crazing on it. The jam pot is cool. The light house, gulls looks like waves crash at its feet. Amazing finds. Thank you for taking the time to post, I totally appreciate it buddy.

Hey there RelRak'r ....I don't know where yer at ...but you've got one of those fun digs going on. Maybe not stuff to quit your day job over but good enough to keep ya excited and enjoying the spot. Always love to hear aboot these digs, thanks so much for sharing the pics!! I still remember when those bromos and MoMs and Cheesebroughs were common... nuthins common (to dig and find in the wild) anymore, so enjoy while you still can!
~Fred
P.S. would like to see the whiskey nip cleaned or at least a couple of clearer pics of the lip and base.... They are cool as heck

With this viral crap going on, work is slow. I have more time than I ever had in a long time to dig and search for bottles. Also the time to post and respond to you great people. When I get busy I will not be never get a chance to do what I am doing now. My Tile business is who I am. I take it seriously and work 24-7 only time I get to myself is to sleep. I consider myself lucky to get and be able to work for myself.
