Hello All,
I finally got my pics organized and uploaded from the dump dig I went on last Monday with Dirty Larry. We dug some decent bottles and a few artifacts. No Owls this time. Not even a broken one.
My keepers,
Olive oil or wine? I'm going with olive oil,
First one of these I have dug. Interesting that it's a crown top. Not easy to re-seal for the next salad. Perhaps it was understood that a cork would be used for that,
Another first. I haven't done any research on this one yet,
Never saw one of these before. Bluing for what? /MRS. STEWARTS/BLUING/MINNEAPOLIS/,
Cobalt is good. These Bromo's are a little sick though. Some BKF may make them a little nicer,
Unembossed,
I imagined this one was a 'Palmer' because of the color. Embossed on the base /COLGATE & CO/T/NEW YORK/,
Yet another first for me. A Florida Water bottle. /FLORIDA WATER/MURRAY & LANMAN/NEW YORK,
Never saw one of these before. I'm guessing it's a citrate based on the shape of the lip. /THIS BOTTLE/NOT RETURNABLE/WE USE ONLY/CLEAN NEW BOTTLES/BOWMAN DRUG CO/
/MERTEN & COMPANY/SAN FRANCISCO/
/SOUTHERN PACIFIC CO/HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT/
A combo railroad and hospital bottle. I like it,
Pumpkin flask,
Jones Whiskey sampler and a Schilling Company spice bottle,
My second one of these. I dug my first one earlier this year. Same size. This one is better. No scratches,
Plain jar,
What the heck is this? Too big to be a marble, too small to be a billiard ball,
This one would have been truly excellent. A handle is broken off one side. Japanese,
This one was very disappointing. I really wish people would have used more care when dumping their trash back then. They could have wrapped the bottles and set them gently on top of the heap before covering.
Has anyone ever seen one of these intact? What kind of top did it have?

Coffin,
My first intact stoneware jug! No debossing. No brand painted on it,
Pfft! Alrighty then! Turns out this next one is a whiskey. Water and minerals infiltrated the glaze causing some small black spots in several locations but over all it's in excellent shape. I'm keeping it,
Everlasting Jar. Small flea bite on the rim,
A couple of Dirty Larry's finds,
A big, heavy flask. Crude screw top. /WERLE & WILLOH/W&W/59 MARKET ST/S.F./
Another Japanese piece. A porcelain sake bottle is my guess. Too bad about the busted neck,
Thanks for looking.
