Hello everyone,
First of all let me express my thanks to the folks who run this site and all who post here for your invaluable knowledge. I grew up on a North Florida homestead that
has been in one family since the 1850s, the local dump site, the general store, and the road to town ran through it and I have found many mysterious(to me) bottles through the years. This one I found next to where I suspect was a general store, as I found shattered glass that looked like perfume container with the words "Paris France" on it and many other things. This bottle showed up after a hard rain storm last year in that area. All I could see was a bottle lip exposed and I had to dig it out and when it emerged I was amazed. It had the name of the biggest town in our county on it, and I figured it was a pharmacist concoction. Are these bottles fairly common? Should I dig more of this area? I plan on cataloging and storing everything I find around here, as I'm the only one able to do this and I want to leave some record for any family that comes after me.
Sincerely,
Old Scion
