Good Day diggin in Maine

[downeastdigger]

Found a new spot to dig to start off the season. The weather has been so strange this year, it hasn't cooperated at all.
The dump I'm in now is a river/ravine dump for about 4 houses. It runs about 3 feet deep and dates from about 1890-1920. I dug for a few hours, ( still chopping through 4" of ice on top). Here's what I got so far, with lots more digging to go.

The license plates are undated, but it appears from what I find on line that they are 1910 - ish. They need restoration, but I think they are good.
Here are 3 Dr. Bakers American Specific with an embossed Uncle Sam on it. The big one is 5" tall

I think this was my find of the day, I've never seen one, have any; of you seen it?

Looks like a Duffy's but it's a Rogers whiskey from Boston, looks about 1880-90

Some local druggists, RH Hurd Pharmacy No. Berwick Me, including one butt kicking big size one I've never seen ! It's about 9" tall and mint !
Thats all for now, I'll let you know if I find more stuff ( after the damn storm!)
Happy digging
