Last years work schedule of 5 days versus 6 and 7 allowed me to get out and do some digging. I made it out probably half a dozen times although I didn't find any killer bottles I found some other great stuff. I can't wait for winter to be over and head back to my hot spot that produce several nice signs below is one of the two 1940's porcelain Gulf nonox knockproof signs. Other two sign not shown were a porcelain Canada dry which I sold before taking a picture and a Maine route 201 sign I'll try to add this Maine sign here later.

Here are three great cast iron pieces I dug up. First is sweet tractor seat I found while hunting and dump digging along old rock walls up here in Maine this fall. The last two were dug in a farm dump behind my father in laws 1849 homestead. The dump is large but was unable to find anything older than 1930's other than the snow and neally peavey just didn't get down deep enough will be returning back this spring. Did produced a lot of ACL sodas sorry no photos I sold them at a my families antique shop. The last item is a hubley kiddie toy taxi car.

Here are two items my father in law gave me that he found behind a wall he tore down while remolding the farm house I found the above stuff at. Natures remedy calender and a teal staffords ink.

I thought that looked like a railroad/log/ice tong. The tractor seat is way cool and displays nicely.
