Steve,

Your wrong about front and second streets. Present day second street is the same as it was in colonial times. It hasn't changed. Also Front street is the same also. There was another street beyond front called Water Street that's the street that 95 destroyed. Columbus Blvd is nothing but fill over the old wharves and piers during the 19th and 20th century.

Nope Steve,...no pontil but it IS unique in the fact that one side is vertical, while the 'taper' is all on the other side,....for instance, it sits on our kitchen window sill next to a strap side flask...if you turn it one way,..it's straight up and down on a side, and if you turn it 180 degrees it's seriously sloped to match the taper on the flask....although I must say....Your example is awesome!

This is an original 10 dollar note redeemable at the Manual Labor Bank.All the signatures are original.
T.W. Dyott is signed at the lower right, Stephen Simpson the head cashier is signed at the bottom left on the note.
Yes that is a picture of Philadelphias favorite son Ben Franklin on the left and Dyotts portrait is on the right.

Great bottles and info, Steve! You really should write a book. Forgive me, but did you dig all of those? What a neat post. Those old newspapers are great too! Joe told me I should stop by and check out your thread. I've become really interested in Godfrey's Cordials since Joe dug his. Thanks for taking the time to share all that info with us.

Thanks Red and Joe they are neat bottles.Chris you are correct I had received my information from my wifes Aunt Carol
who got to dig around all of the construction.A simple look up on the citys street grid showed you are correct mostly.
Parts of Front street were moved for the construction of I-95 and the area in Society Hill was taken underground to not spoil the view of the River
Here is the new picture with the corrected cordinates showing Second and Race streets.My drawing of Dyottville is very accurate as
I have personally toured the area and talked to old time city residents who showed me the boundries of the old Dyottville glass works and homes.
