I think you nailed it Jimbo.Good eye.

Those old metal milk crates often have the name of the dairy embossed on the sheet metal corners, it could be local.

Canadian Bottles, thank you for your help!
S. Plante, than ks!
Sandchip, I dug numerous razors which I threw back down...
Bottle Rocket, that looks to be it!
Luckiest, thanks for the tip. I'll look into it.
I didn't go back today, but instead hit-up the railroad and found a dump from the '60s-'70s there. I had much better luck dumpster diving, though. An attache case, a 1940s dictionary in fair condition, a set of Kodachrome projector photographs from 1958, a set of stamps from the '50s through '70s I'm guessing to Muskegon Public Schools, glass and metal ink bottle/tins...
At the dump I turned up a Drewery's can, embossed Sprite, three Pepsi-Cola bottles--only one is ACL, and huge--and a milk glass makeup thing. Click here to see what I found yesterday, and will soon post into there from today. Anyone know what this metal object is?

 

[Robby Raccoon]

Any ideas on the age of the can?
Milk glass item.

 

[Robby Raccoon]

The bottles. All embossed. I found a broken ACL bottle called Patio, which said it was from Pepsi-Cola. It would have been neat for the name alone.

The metal object, In comparison in size to the rubber stamps in the background could be a sash weight for an old style window OR a counter weight for a clock???????

 

[Robby Raccoon]

Old window? The factories shouldn't be pre-1940 where I found this--this was more on an industrial dump than anything. It seems to heavy too be a clock weight, but was my first thought also.

The Drewry's can is known as a fan tab from around 1965-66. LEON.

 

[Robby Raccoon]

Super! Thank you, Leon. It fits in perfectly with the age of the industrial (that's what I'm calling it, as it is right on the road of industrial plants, and was full of industrial machine parts and such--along with shoes and drinking glasses, pops and beers) dump.

The metal object to me looks to be a balance weight for an old scale . The hook or hanger part is rusted away from the top of the weight . But then too , maybe its something else altogether lol .
