2. E. Hartshorn and sons Boston Mass, Established 1850 (shoe polish?)
3. Hires Extract (aqua)(ahh still like em)
4. Ayers Sasparilla Lowell Mass.(aqua)
5. Old Pickle ? (greenish/aqua)(some aqua go to clear this goes to green)
6. 3 porcieln lids Boyds and Consolidated.
7. 1 iron pot in great condition. 4 rust spots, all intact/complete.

And I have yet to find a coke or pepsi. Good or bad no bother, just noticing none of em in about 3 weeks of digging.

Thanks all for your responces to my previous post. The info is appreciated. Just lookin for your thoughts on the ayers, pickle, and E. Hartshorn.

Thanks,
Madpaddla

E. Hartshorn was a medicine & extract company and was in business until the 1930s I think.
The bottle you have exists in older blown types and abm. We've found 3 or 4 of the abm type here in a 1920s dump in MA...they seem pretty common.
I recently dug one with a partial label that identifies the contents as extract of vanilla. My guess is they used the same embossed bottle for everything and just changed the paper label according to the contents.
