This took place a few weeks ago but I am a lazy when it comes to posting so here goes:
I got invited to go dig on a construction site. The workers were ripping up a section and started pulling bottles, moving all of the dirt onto piles. The piles were left, unsearched. The first pic is what we pulled out on the surface in the first five minutes. The cleaned up pictures are only about a third of the stuff that i got, and what i consider keepers or worth cleaning.
Funny thing is that when we pulled up to the site, i opened the car door and set my foot down right on top of the script jug, just barely sticking out. Best find of the day.
Mcdermott Dairy NYC / R.H. Macy NYC star pictured cream jar:
A bunch of pipes and smalls that were scattered all over the place:
The flask on the left came from the site, the flask on the right is unrelated. The left one is embossed Reiley Brothers Hotel from NYC:
Copenhagen Snuff, Wyman & Bro, Pittsburg PA:
Various NYC Sodas and Beers: Kohler / Sandrowitz / Block:
Some more smalls:
Some more random bottles including an English Virol and an NYC stamped Ink:
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST! The Script Jug! Zucker & Steiner 538 Market St. Newark NJ
Thanks for looking!
