Recently, while working as a site steward, at a Forest Service heritage site I came across a bottle upside down encased in concrete at a historical farmstead near Wilmington, Il. Being located a heritage site, I cannot dig it out. Part of the bottom of the bottle is visible. I realize the photos aren't very clear, but remember the bottle is upside down encased in concrete. Pretty cool!
I attached a couple of photos(very difficult to get) and the printing seems to say: Amboy, then a star, then Form****. I'm guessing maybe it says Forman?
It would be very interesting to know the origin of the bottle as it applies to the possible of movement of early homestead owners/inhabitants. The farmstead was originally inhabited in the mid to late nineteenth century, although I doubt that it is from that period.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
