don't know how it is in Michigan ,but houses of that age don't usually have privy's.

What age do you think these are? And why no privy's? LEON.

Well, interesting - but if the pictures do not let you see the whole embossed reality - the information should be printed in the relative text. "/ So we can know what is on them."RED M.

Unfortunately embossed bottles are hard to photograph & capture the Embossing, Which is why alot of people will color the Embossing white or other colors to make them more readable. Also this site will only show the pics so big which is not really big at all further complicating matters. I could of taken close ups of each individual bottle if somebody was really Interested in seeing that? LEON.

GLAD FOR YOU! Woulda been even better if the bottles had been 20 years or more older..but still a great haul!!JAMIE

Yes, if the baskets were full of Hutches that would of been great. BUT, They could of been full of 1950's or 60's bottles too I guess. I'm happy with what I got. LEON.

Found this rare Tombstone Hutch in the back alley nearby earlier in the spring. Also found a blob beer in alley & also what looked like a 1860 black glass bottle. LEON.

I thought you were talking about the bottles, I think the houses are older then that. I don't got a sanborn map of that block but all the blocks next to it & nearby all have house on the 1897 map & 1906 map. Found lots of pre 1900 bottles & shards on next street. LEON.
