Awesome-so glad it made it to you safely!Hey Brandon, I really like that beer. Got busy and forgot to tell you it arrived safe and sound. I will post a photo of it when the weather gets bad. Been to nice to stay inside.

Nice Stuff, Really hard for me to find any Privy's from pre 1880's in my area. Congrats. LEON.
I love that advertising coaster! Shame it's broken but I suppose that's typical for that sort of thing, and it'll repair really nicely. The Russ' is great too, never seen that one before.Went out Sunday and found a privy pretty quickly in the morning. Unfortunately, with all the rain down here, it was a battle keeping it dry and the privy ended up being huge (8' x 4' x 7' deep) so I only dug to the center brace and left the other 4' for next time. Unfortunately, though it was early (1860's), it had a very thin use layer (6" thick at the bottom of the privy) and I only found one slick and a bone toothbrush that were whole. With the last bit of energy I had, I punched a small hole in an area with a thin layer of trash and found this beer advertising coaster, which I was pretty excited about even though it was in three pieces. Just to give an idea of the size of the toothbrush, the coaster is 6" in diameter. Its a big toothbrush!
I think it is from around 1910 or so. Definitely pre-prohibition, but based on the context it was found in, post 1900.Very nice! I also love that coaster. Looks like something you might see today, which is an awesome tie to the past. What age do you think it is?
