Fun Dig...

[Staunton Dan]

Now that the weather is getting a little better and the time change allows me to dig a little later, I spent 7-1/2 hours digging in my favorite spot yesterday. Here are some of the more interesting items ceaned up. The 1st may be a good one. It is the 1st Budweiser beer bottle. These can't be real common. Here's a couple of links that talk about the history of Budweiser Beer. The 2nd link is a pdf file and requires Adobe Reader. Kind of interesting information.

The 2nd bottle is a Danville, VA beer bottle that also can't be real commond. The only flaw is a chip in the lip where the bail wire was attached. This is fairly common on this type of closure but a flaw just the same.

Here is a Stafford master ink showing the bottle just out of the ground with a partial label and the same bottle cleaned up a bit.

Here's 2 dental products from Richmond, VA. The one one the left is a Meade & Baker Mouth Wash that I have found before but the Dowden's Dental Fluid is a new one for me. Unfortunately it has a chipped lip.

2 inks - the one on the left is embossed Stafford's Ink and the one on the right is unembossed.

A Thompson's Eye Water...

This would have been a nice cobalt blue poison. It has 14 ribs and a place for the label but again a small lip chip.

These are always fun to dig, a Barry's Tricopherous.
