Dec. and recent digs

[Flaschenjager]

Hello all -
I haven't had time to post lately and had a PC go down for a while. Now I have two running PCs and a bit of time. Here's some of my recent findings from several sites. A couple are just pick ups from jobsites where you only have an hour before it's too dark to see.

The only 'great' find (to me) is the local druggist on the far left...CHILDREY DRUG CO. / RICHMOND, VA. and the skull thing is kinda neat. These two items came from an untouched/dug dump we found late last Sunday. We will be hittin' this site all day tomorrow...Christmas Eve.

RE: Dec. and recent digs +++ SKULL

Here's a close up of the skull. I've seen others dig these, but this is my first.
Seems to be a fraternity item??? There's a hole in the top of this to place a candle maybe? It doesn't have a lot of age to it, but is cool in a way.

Here's one like it on eBay:
