Veterinary bottles and vials

[mal]

Hi all. I have a spot beside my barn that showed a lot of shards. I dug down and found quite a few intact bottles, and dozens of these small screw cap vials. The bottles are mostly veterinary formulas for horses. I was wondering if anyone else has dug up these vials in such numbers?
I'm hoping to dig further, maybe we'll hit an earlier layer. The farm is from 1850, but the barn is a later replacement. Gotta say, I've got the bug now!

Have two local vet bottles. Possibly my two local favorites.

Cool bottle! Here are a few close ups. The first is a Dr. Bell's Medical Wonder, which contained all kinds of horrible crap, and there are also Rawleighs and Pinex bottles, which were horse medicinals for cough and colic. Then all the vials. Geez: Gotta wonder if it was the horses or maybe the owners that were imbibing in this quantity.

Hello again. I cleaned up a few of the bottles from the barn area. One seems a bit older in that it is a cork top rather than a screw top, and is a light aqua colour, very bubbly. Hoping more oldies will turn up.

Second pic of cleaned bottles. A neat old Noxzema jar.
