We didn't find any Paterson stuff, Jim... Tom just took the bike frame, a couple Iroquois bottles, and a partially labeled R. Burnett & Co. labeled English gin...

A very crude applied top tomato jar/bottle... I've found these in lots of different shapes. I can't for the life of me read what the base says, it's that crude. Ideas???

An English ale or something, I think. It has an almost Stoddard-like color to it. It says "G. S. & Co/ 1878" on the base.

This was the best bottle of the dig for me! My first bottle from Bloomfield, which is literally my backyard, although I live in Glen Ridge. GR seceded from Bloomfield in 1895, but I can't be sure if this bottle is before or after. "JOHN P. SCHERFF/ PHARMACIST/ BLOOMFIELD N.J."

I managed to find all but one of the pieces of this nice pitcher, maybe for tea. I have no idea how old it is, all I know is I like it! It's got a cool picture of a quaint little house with a windmill.
