I started searching the site of a 19th century farmhouse i was able to research.In the hour or two i was there, no coins or buttons were found but did find a trash pit. Among other things was this 3 wheeler and this butterfly broach both with some of the original paint on them. Also eyeballed on the surface was this heavy bottle. It has ' Isaiah Bunn,Riverside Bottling Works,Warwick NY' on one side and 'This bottle not to be sold' on the other. The stopper is still in the bottle.On the bottom is 'K Hutter,New York' and 10 B in the middle. The seam goes up to the neck.Any ideas of age and value?
I'm sure there's more there, i ran out of daylight.HH-MM2
