Hi Xretsim,

Nice start to a collection... To stumble on an un-dug dump is pretty rare these days. if you get back and dig there, you should get some great finds. It's a good age judging from what you've found already.

Go back with a fork, shovel, a bucket and some good gloves. Make sure you dig to the bottom of the dump, that's where the best finds will be...

I'm in the UK too, down in Matlock, digging as often as I can now, after a 20 year break..

Your "LUNG TONIC" is probably Owbridges from Hull, quite common but nice.

The Crown Cap bottle pushes the date to post 1892, but more likeley post 1905, but there may be older stuff deeper.

Good luck, and post some pics of what you find!
