Dug a woodlined Privy Today

[botlguy]

Most of the bottles were what I think some people call TEE PEE bottles because of the shape. Most were from Frank Marx Brewing co. in Michigan. In both Amber & Aqua blobs. Then some amber Goebel early crown tops & some misc. Frank Marx was in Business from 1904-1909 from what my American Breweries II book sez. LEON.

Thanks Leon.

Sweet dig! My next dig should be so full of glass! Been getting skunked or the oddball stuff last couple digs. Those teepee ones are very nice looking. Here in the Midwest they are generally embossed Weiss Beer and very desirable, at least in MY meager collection! Nice going! Jack

I wasn't expecting much since I have been in a real bad slump finding old stuff, It's been more than a year since I have found a good privy. The Privy was 5 feet deep 4' x 4' We got a Green old embossed wine bottle in first 2 feet. Then we ended up getting 8 embossed blob beers, 6 crown top Goebel's & 4 sample Paul Jones whiskey and bunches whiskey slicks. It was nice that there were bottles mixed from 2' all the way to the bottom. First post since rejoining the forum, can you post pictures from your computer still ? Tom (Treasurehunt)
