Checked Out a New Spot

[DK03]

My dad and I went searching for a dump the other day, and we found a spot that seems promising. Overall, we didn't find a whole lot to take home, but every day you find a local blob is a good day, especially if its one you don't have. Below are some of the finds; there aren't too many, but we weren't out long. The spot definitely warrants another look.

The blob - an A. W. Fisher Reading, PA.

A Dr. Jones' Liniment.

We also found a ton of fruit jar lids. Some were H. F. J. Co. and a few other ones. This one has either a W or an M. Any idea what company used this one?

Those specimens would definitely force me to go back looking for more. Good luck! []

PS: ..are there any Laureldale bottles out there?

 

[DK03]

Thanks and no, I've never found a Laureldale bottle around here. If I ever do find one I'll let you know.

The porcelain fruit jar lid liner with the M inside a diamond is from "The Marion Jar Mason's Patent Nov 30th 1858." The book value on the lid (complete with zinc) is listed at $15-$20.

Thanks for the info Michael.

That midgety blob is awesome! I'd be back there in a heartbeat, that's for sure. Hope it pans out for you!

Thanks Wheelah. The blob is pretty sweet.
