“The Cure For What Ails You”

[pa-dirt_nc-sand]

Thought I had a intact vintage whiskey bottle from the old city woods.





Turns out to be snake oil... but with an interesting story. Basically this doctor in Columbus OH formed a company selling a cure all potion during the turn of the century. He did alright until prohibition hit and it turns out his concoction is 28% alcohol. Well he did really well during prohibition, lots of people needed to be cured.


Horse and Rider POD (post office) button and WW1 Eagle.


Old flashlight for miners


And a mine tag for the mine under my house.


Couple pieces of heavy brass


Aluminum advertising thimbles


Part of a radio?



Someone must have been hunting elephant sized deer


Fire damaged swim badge



Waiting for the 1/2 oz gold token to arrive!

Good luck out there!

Southwestern PA is coal country. That's why we have to buy mine subsidence insurance on our homes.

Yes, I think it is a radio part! I believe it is the frame for the radio tuning dial. Cool finds all the way. Thanks for sharing.

My Aunt's home south of Pittsburgh has the same situation...

What a great batch of relics. I can't even pick a favorite they are all so nice. All right, I changed my mind. I'm going with the 2 buttons and the Mine tag.

Nice finds. That cartridge is from the St. Louis Ordnance Plant in 1942. Looks like a 50 cal, which they made there.
