Must get older!!

[Terphunter]

Found another dump..not as old as I had hoped but I picked part of it any way. Some dairy bottles in different sizes and a couple of mystery finds. Any idea on what the post and ball thing is?? The post is almost a stone material and the top is black plastic/glass mixture compound. The metal "ball" looks to be copper...I have no idea. Also found a small glass bottle with a copper bottom....different. Two Chestnut dairy from Washington d.c. and a Wakefield dairy also from D.C....a first for me.

Ball thing might be a part of a lighting rod or weather vane?Saw some similar on Ebay,seller called them Lighting rod balls.

I found smaller "posts" that I did not keep....same construction and material as the bigger one but no smaller copper balls. This was in an older toc or earlier dump....not same dump as the glass bottle finds (was all broken older stuff). Maybe this helps.

The milks are always a great find to me. Nice figural bullet bottle too.

The round metal thing could be a brass bed part.
