Dug today - Spring water bottle and cigar tube (maybe?) Went back to an old foundation today. Finding the trash pits that are there is hard work. They buried the trash a bucket at a time in different places around the back of the house. I would use my detector to find them but there is too much newer trash on top. Well I'll keep plugging away at it for as long as it takes.

So I found a Pine Spring Water bottle from Topsham ME. and a nickel plated tube that I think is a cigar tube. It cleaned up nicely no matter what it is.

don't think cigar tube
 

nice bottle...not sure on the other one...
 

Hi. nice finds. Congrats:icon_thumleft: love the old bottle
 

Great looking spring water bottle. Had to be one expensive cigar to warrant a tube like that.
 

Very cool bottle. Tube could be antique bike pump cylinder. Found one similar but had some stampings on the side. Congrats
 

Like the bottle.
 

Nice bottle nice to know theres realky old stuff there makes it alot of fun Well done Happy Holiday
 

The tube is something you would buy separately to carry your cigar around. There is no exit on the tube for it to be a pump or syringe. I think the hole allows the tobacco to breath and lets one have access to poke a hole in the end of the cigar before removing it. It may also be missing the pin that once plugged that hole. Just a thought.

This is the tube I found that I thought was similar to yours. (Bike tire pump cylinder)
 

Congrats on the interesting old bottle find. I have no idea what the other piece could be.
 

pa-dirt nc-sand .... Very similar. The screw end is for the plunger so how does the air exit the tube? I don't have an exit for the air on the tube that I have.

I believe the plunger and air exit use the same hole on the end.
 

Your right! Now I see how it works! Thanks :notworthy:
