I am beginning to think that this dump me and another fellow digger had found was partly a pharmacy dump from the 1920s and 30s. We have found a pile of homeopathic vials (I'll have to take a pic of it when I go back), as well as broken advertising jars. Here are my finds!!!:

The base of the Washington bottling works matches my Julep bottle I had found earlier, so I know that the Julep is from this bottling company and from Norwich!:

I'd say that all these finds are signifying that this dump is a pharmacy dump. Can't wait to go back.

Thanks for reading,

That Caldwell's sign is really cool! I would have been pretty happy with that other sign or the Christmas Coke too. Great finds.

Wow, those signs are in great shape. Usually, dump signs are all crumpled. Can't wait to see what comes out next!

Both signs are cool!! I would hang them on the garage wall and share the story years to come!!

There's a medical dump site locally to me. I've always wanted to dig there but never had much time.
