This one has me totally perplexed. Nifty little dabber type stopper with cork inside. Aluminum lid holds cork in. Nothing but 7 FL OZS NET at foot, and 2 on base. Some kind of perfume or similar?
I doubt it. Get yourself a little flourescent tube or other kind of blacklight and check all your bottles with it in the dark, if any glow a dull to flourescent green there is a good chance they are good candidates for SCA or have already turned. I like the shaker and the little glass.
yo jg, always cool stuff in the farm dump, nice milks coke and the perfume bottle, with the weird stopper, keep on digging, how deep are you? yes i think those are syrups guess they just had a cork with a foil seal??? mike
I started at the base of a ravine with shards. It's about 10-15' wide, 80' long. It bottoms out at about 4' deep, and I have about 12-15' left till the top. The hardest thing is removing pieces of farm equipment by hand to get to the stuff underneath. Unearthed a wire spoked wheel and most of a cast iron stove yesterday to get those bottles. Was it 1900-1915 that the government made them stop using manganese?
Anything I find cracked stays in the dump unless it's something spectacular. There are some scuff marks(like case wear) around the bottle, like it made it around the block a few times before it came to Perry county and was thrown in the dump. That is one of the marks, (which looks alot worse in that pic than it really is) not quite scratches, as they have no depth to them. Looks like they could be buffed out. Any ideas as to time of use or value? Reiter still sells milk from there, so I was figuring it was a common with little value.
hey jg keep pullin that metal out, missed the akron milk before, that is sweet!!! and worth it!! may get older twoards the top, dig deeper see if you can find that older layer clay?? mike
