Woody, your luck makes an old lady diggers heart go thump. Makes me want to hit the trail even with the storms popping up here in Ms. also. Finds like yours will put the spark back in everyone here, thanks for sharing, great finds!

Thanks Old Digger, although you're never too old.
Here's the unembossed pontil medicine jar I'm starting to clean.
Nice crude bottle that was made 1845-1860, I'd say.

Good stuff you got there ,Woody!I am new here but have been diggin' and finding bottles since I was a kid of 10 or 11.That dump we used to go to was just like the one you got all the neat stuff you have displayed.Good luck on your endeavour!I need a day off from work and maybe with luck I can do some searching and finding too.

Hey Woody,
Some nice finds there mate.I really like the oil! I'll hazard a guess on your 'bubble' might be an old dosage cup for medicine-have you measured it's capicity? Ounce,2 tablespoons maybe? That's my guess though I could be way off.Your vasiline looks like the oldest style I've ever found-seams quit on the shoulder?Anyway,cool finds-glad some of us are finding stuff worth bringing home![:'(]

That would make sense, Medbottle.
I've never dug one before but I have heard of them.
Thanks for your help in finding out what it is.
It sounds like that is what it was.

Here's a "Fellows & Co Chemist's St. John N.B."
A Canadian bottle from New Brunswick, I believe.
Maybe some of the Canadian collectors know better than me.
