DNS stoneware bottle

[CazDigger]

Here is a stoneware bottle dug in a northern NY privy, any idea who/what DNS is?

Here's the best resource I know for New York research. fultonhistory.com. I would reckon that the bottle was sold somewhere close to you. A boolean search with D N S* and soda might show up something. Where did you dig the bottle and what are the closest towns? I am originally from Syracuse and have quite a few central NY beers and sodas.

Hi Scott, it was north of Watertown. I don't think it from the Syracuse CNY area

Great stonie...

I think it means "Do Not Sell" []

Whatever it means, I love it!

Caz - David Graci lists the bottle in his first book, but there is no information on who the bottler was or where it was from. I am originally from northern NY and have never seen one. The lip style is unusual for a NY stoneware bottle, it could even be Canadian. Can you tell the age from what was found with it? I would guess 1870's. Most of the script-decorated stoneware bottles in NY state originated from the Poughkeepsie area, which is pretty far from where you found this one. How tall is this bottle? Any chance of you posting a cleaned-up picture, along with what else was found in the hole? Very unusual find.

Yes, clean it first. Who know what hidden info might be under the muck. []

 

[CazDigger]

The bottle is 10" tall, hand thrown - not molded and was found with 1860s-80s bottles

I dont think its Canadian, but I will do a little research and get back to you if I find anything interesting.
