Not enough to go on, was there? Well, it was a better guess than I had at the time.
I think you guys got it. I think it is the fanciest thing I have found here. I hope to do what Fat suggested. It would look sweet on there.

Entomology Update
Stinging caterpillars
May 2013
Did you know that some caterpillars can sting? Various caterpillars have urticating hairs or spines that are connected to a poison gland. When something, such as an arm, brushes against the hairs, the
hairs stick in the skin, injecting venom and sometimes causing a rash.
Stinging caterpillars include the Io moth caterpillar, the buck moth caterpillar, the saddleback caterpillar, and the asp or puss caterpillar.
Buck moth caterpillars are brownish-black, but can also be lighter in color. These caterpillars have long, multi-branched spines in rows along the body.
Io moth caterpillars are yellowish to green with a pinkish- red line along the side of the body. These caterpillars also have clusters of yellow or green spines in rows along the body.

Saddleback caterpillars have a slug-like body with two large tubercles on each end of the body. Saddleback caterpillars are green with brown
ends (including the tubercles) and have a brown spot in
the center of the body that is ringed with white (it looks
similar to a saddle).
Asps are about an inch and a half long when fully grown. They are teardrop-shaped with long, silky hair. Asps are usually tan, but can be a variety of colors.
These caterpillars are typically found on trees and shrubs around homes, and gen- erally do not harm the plants.

If stung, pain will immediately be felt and blood-
colored spots may form at the site of the sting. Other
symptoms that may occur are nausea, headache, vomiting or even respiratory distress. Cover the sting area with tape. Remove tape repeatedly to remove spines from the skin. Applying an ice pack to the sting area may help to soothe the skin. An oral antihistamine may also be taken to relieve itching. If respiratory distress occurs, seek medical attention.
There are many dangerous-looking caterpillars that are safe to handle, but unless you are sure they do not sting, I would advise not to touch!
If the caterpillars need to be managed, try products with active ingredients such as Bacillus thruingiensis var. kurstaki, spinosad, azadirachtin or a pyrethroid.

Here's a IO Moth Caterpillar, stung a young fellow trying to get his buddy's lure out the tree branch.
He brushed his wrist against it.
I got him Jewel Weed and that relieved the stinging, but it still blistered.

Yes they will leave a nasty if touched.
SO many different ones that I try to photo them when I see them, then ID if I should stay clear of them.

I got this for $2.00. I think it is from late 1800s .
Take a pic of the side seam.
But I think your in the 1890s era.
Good deal for $2.

Might date a tad earlier WD, I'd throw it up on the bottle forum and see if it dates earlier.
With the seam just at the base of the neck it's usually an earlier date than 1890.
Here a read on the company and product.

Harvest time again 
The Habanero dont stop producing
Btw. does someone has experiences with Shishito Peppers? My 10 plants are full now with peppers even when they are just approx 50 cm high but the peppers are quite short and thick. (5 to 6 cm thick and just 8 to 10 cm long)
Normaly they has to be long and slim. I nkow them only one inch thick and up to 8 inches long.
would like to know what I or nature did wrong here
Make later a photo of them.
PS: My carrots was a full success this year. Approx 1 inch long but very tasty LOL

Another section of field edge cleanup.
It hasn't been done for 8 yrs, and it looks like many decades almost by the growth of some trees.
Laborious task of limb, small trees, scrub, to get it cleaned up.
Better for maple tree sap collection, as the sun can warm the trunks up.
