Hey Joe,

Once again, Great dig, Bradfordites! You guys sure have had your share of under and inside building digs of late.

My grandmother used one of those short clublike deals as the "plunger" on her meat grinder.

I'm looking forward to the cleaned up photos of that New York Bottling Co soda. Does it have a Hutchinson stopper? Sure looks like it could'a been a gravitator.

That one wooden piece looks like a pestle...Since it doesn't look like you found a mortar to go with it, it was probably an oh sh*t moment and in the privy it went.

Thanks for the input, guys. Here is a similar one I found.

COOL ! What a winter bonus dig!
Thanks for the pictures and info.

I love the mug, is it early mocha ware? That druggist is great, and thats as old a Moxie as you'll find.

Congratulations man

I don't know about the mug, Bram. It does look like it, doesn't it? I love Mochaware. It didn't seem old enough to be, but I'm not an expert. Does anyone know?

Thanks Bram....Not sure whether or not it's mochaware, but it has a real old "feel" to it.

Fred stopped this morning for some coffee and some catching up...Brought a couple of his finds from last weekend so I could grab some pics....We also had access to the building so we could fill in the privy hole today....We had decided to pull the exposed boards down and dig behind them as we filled it in, but this didn't yield us much. Here's Fred's awesome and mostly intact oil lamp find.

Both parts are intact and undamaged so it was a great find! Fred also dug this crude aqua flask last week...thought it was unmarked at first but has the maker's initials on the bottom...Nice iridescence going on too.
