Dug a Privy Today.

[A2TED]

Being in south east Michigan not far from Ohio I've dug a few different Ohio Bottles in the Past. LEON.

What meds did you dig?

Dug these 2 meds. Great Seal & Fellows Chemist, Canadian St. John New Brunswick. Broke but never seen one before, wonder if it's rare? LEON.

Surprised you've never seen the Fellows before, but you can rest easy knowing that it's a very common med so not too much of a crier. It's one of Canada's most common meds, up here they're roughly on par with a Mrs. Winslows or Dr. Pierce's or that sort of thing. I thought it was widely sold in the US too, but I guess not in Detroit if you've never seen one before.

OK, Thanks for that info, No, never seen the Fellows before but we don't dig to many Canadian bottles in Michigan. The heavily sick looking glass made it look older then the Buckeye Green Seal ABM Crowntops. LEON.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that it's quite a bit older than the ABMs you dug. It looks like one of the earlier ones, maybe 1870s or 80s. I guess its distribution wasn't as wide as I thought, or maybe it just never really caught on in Detroit.

If I remember right the ink was a common screw top Carters. only reason we didn't throw it back in the hole was because Tom has a cousin that would be happy to have our rejects. LEON.
