Got out for some digging in this dump Rick is in on with me. I have been slow at work lately so I took advantage of a rare 60 degree Nov. day in New York. I had a good fealing bushwacking in, with the Wildlife making noise all around. I was alone, so there would be no compitition for the find of the day today. It turned out to be a good day. Even had to leave a few behind till the next trip in. (SOON). This is a group shot straight out of my pack.

We've dug several of the Rumfords Bottles in here, their commen, but always a nice color and form at least. The Aqua Pony is a new varient to us, Its only come from this dump. Its a pony Werner Brewing Co. Mechanicville NY. Then a big Blown crown top Qt. Saratoga Seltzer Spring Co. With an Anchor

Obviously this was my find of the day. I uncovered it from the side without the handle. I could see the cobalt lettering, but untill you have the handle exposed you dont have it. I picked like an archioligist aound it ever so gently and found the handle. With a little more work I lifted this killer out. Its got a 1 stamped in the shoulder, and has a nice crude cobalt stenil. M. Sheehan / 353 River St. Troy N.Y. We have dug about a dozen Jugs in this dump. Most were wounded. A few were mint. I also left behind a I gallon Salzman Purity Above All in the green lettering instead of the normal black.
This Jug is flawless. I need to work at the light rust spots some. but no hairlines, or chips. Its solid.

This nice Pint Flask I was really hoping to be embossed. A rare Troy Flask that was prevoisly unknown has come from here. This one is embossed on the shoulder Trademark Registered, Full Measure in a banner, Pint. Interesting though the base is embossed A. G. S. Co. Anybody know what that stands for. Then, I couldnt resist carrying out this really early blown in mold, cornflower blue Phillips Milk Of Magnesia. Its a nice early crude one with a nice crude look to it. Pat. date on the lower front of 1873. Big strap sides. Then a fairly commen Pony Beer from Troy, Fitzgerald Bros. Troy N.Y.

This was an interesting Insulator to find. My buddy says he has dug them before. I dont recall having seen it. Embossed on the shoulder W. Brookfeild, 44 Cliff St. N.Y. An Insulator with a street address? Then a Cobalt Acker;s English Remedy. I dug A 6.5" version of this a few weeks ago. I guess its quite rare. I could throw a pic. of that up if anyone wants to see it. Nice Cobalt recessed Panel.

You notice how the Close - up of the Jug jumped right to it after I had cleaned it? Well here it is still dirty, as it came home. I will try to get some pics after these are washed but is may be a few days. You could see the jug is washed lightly.

And lastly a nice bluish Lamp base with a milk glass pattern in it. Ground top. Then a Free SampleCramers Kidney Cure Albany N.Y. All the N's are backwards. So thats it untill next time, hopefully it will be another good day. Hope you enjoyed the pics.
Oh, 1 more....

Great finds there. The Sun is a great jar. I don't have a Red Book but I'd say it's way more than a hundred. Love the Jug also. Looks like you're in a great site. Can't wait to see more.
