Thanks, Mike. I was thinking along those lines too. I'm just not sure, though. Don't think I can stand going under there again!

What an adorable little headless squatter you got there Laur! Sure makes for a great conversation piece. Nothing like petting the dog while taking care of business LOL!

As always... Great stuff you guys got there and an awesome story to follow! Love how well you describe everything on here. Thanks for sharing!

Here's a "whatizit?"

Hey Joe, it looks like a glass cane to me. It just so happens one was posted on my local Craigslist today and just take a look at the form, it looks very similar. I'm not sure what else it could be...

Too bad the colored dolls were broken... those things can bring some Big Bucks!!! The piece of blown glass is a glass cane, but not necessarily a walking cane. They were made with leftover glass and sold as decorate knick knacks, like a paperweight. One that is intact and of a nice design can be a treasure to a marble collector! Looks like some interesting stuff there!

Here's a better pic that Laur took of the amythest dish....(Great color)[] We found most all of it,...a lot of the stuff under there was "broken in place". The colored dolls seemed to be turning up a lot in the area Fred and I dug Sunday,...He found one also.

The "bromo's" of this dig?....Never saw any of these before...They are made vr. odd, with what looks like an ABM seam at the top,...but NO seams on the sides of the bottle? plus pretty crude....Could these be oriental? they have sorta that look about them...Can anyone explain how they were made? No kind of mark at all on the bottom. I found about 40 of these in a "clump".

I hope someone can identify these Asian-looking bottles.  I am really curious about them.  They were down there a long time, as there is a little bit of sickness in a couple of them, along with Joe's other observations.

Does the base have a fancy #2 on it? any other markings? What time period did the Chinese use the building?

Tony,...It was a Chinese laundry from 1886 till at least 1911... I didn't see any base marks. (May have been earlier as well, but no sanborns back further)...also It may have been still listed as a (Chinese) laundry into the 30's? I need to go look.
