What is the full embossing on the soda with T. Sieg..... It may be the first bottle I have ever seen in all my years of searching with my last name embossed on it.

T. Siegfried was a prolific bottler in this area from the mid 19th century into the early 20th century. many of his bottles are highly collectible.

Hey Julie when are you going to start talking again? []

I have to ask about the runoff! What and where did it "run off" to? I have never seen such a setup other than the clay pipe style that took the rain gutter runoff and ran it underground into the one side of the privy and out the other at the bottom directly into the city sewer line, which is what mine is to my house. Yours looks almost like something I would expect in a mining town or some such isolated setting. Plus, those stones used for a liner are pretty funky looking, not the nice large sturdy kind around here. I would feel nervous in a hole like that one at any depth much deeper that I stand. But mainly curious about that runoff......is that a common configuration in your area? Just never seen one like it before.....Thanks Jack

side of the bottom.

i thought that title would draw a comment or two.

It didn't draw more attention because local stoners are as common as weeds. [8D]


Great finds BTW, and I am also curious about that "runoff" feature if you know more about them.

Yes, as a matter of fact we will be doing one tomorrow. It's a good area, all we need is a loaded pit. We shall see.

pit was 1870's top to bottom. we were hoping to pull some graphites off the bottom, but
no luck. bunch of vintage pottery shards and broken pontil utility types. was loaded.

the Lyons Powder is really nice. i hope i get it in the pick. it's medium green on the top and bottom and a very light transparent green thru the middle. the photo doesn't do it justice.

GREAT bunch of locals there! Congrats!
If you guys want to part with that Weissport bottle please let me know.

you're interested.

good hearing from you.
