also made an unusal find on the edge of the dump near some rocks , found an old harmonica , its the marine band model . has a patent date of 1897 and was made in germany . it also still has the wooden piece . metal is broken on the other side .
can't get a close up picture that shows the engraving on the metal , it also looks to be a fairly common harmonica based on what i saw on ebay .

also found a broken piece of glass that appears to be from a local drugist and chemist bottle , its sort of like trying to fill a crossword puzzle with whats left but i see " ebridge" which would of been bracebridge when not broken . farm is near town of bracebridge so it make sense they'd have such a bottle . never seen a local drugist bottle for this area so don't know much about it .

I believe the Bracebridge bottle has the name at the top that looks like it ends with "AND". If that is the case, the name on the bottle would have been Bridgland. I dont know who had bottles, but there are a few Bridglands listed, and seeing the bottle and looking at the dates of the names, it probably said either Samuel Bridgland or Henry Bridgland.

Hope this helps!
