I like that camel! Would probably clean up well with a bit of electrolysis, never tried that myself though. And that ceramic dice thing is interesting too, I wonder what that was used for.

Like the camel too.
Blue one that says 1/2 oz and has ribs is considered a poison bottle.
Small blue one with hole in cap is ladies perfume bottle,they wore them around the neck,for easy access.
Clear one with horizontal lines and small top is baby bottle.

I used to love digging up random stuff like that. Everything back then was just so ornate. Cold weather aside, looks like a fun dig.

It's like someone's been digging . in Louisville I'll take a lot of stuff like that that last one looks to be a baby bottle what the measurements on the side the clear ones green salt shaker or pepper as far as that Camel I dug a gun that was nothing but a big clump of rust my dad took it to his work put it in a big tumbler he brought it back home you can read everything on it I couldn't believe how clean it made it corset couldn't fire because it was still corroded inside Barrel and stuff like that but it was look like an old gamblers pistol octagon barrel so it puts it around 1860 1850 somewhere around that area but it was really cool the name of the pistol star one shot Dillinger type look like something that a gambler would have under his sleeve
