Today's Bottle Dump Finds
Hi all.
Temperature was very warm today for 12-14 in Western PA, so I had to go out and dig stuff up. My pair of Aces, the vibra probe and digger were cleaned and stored away so I grabbed my garden cultivator and went to the 40s bottle dump where I always seem to find something odd. I collect TOC medicine bottles, but I never find any of these in this particular dump but it is still fun because of the random finds. Any bottle I find interesting is typically photographed, cached, researched and picked up later if it is worth keeping. Beats bringing them all home and sending them back to a different dump.
Today scored me no less than three battleships, one glass, one plastic and one metal. Figure the odds. I also found four makeup compacts from the 40s. That brings my total to eight this year. A few silver plate flatware pieces (one maybe a baby spoon), marbles (two glass, one clay), a bisque dog (broken) a Williams Korn-X bottle and a small milk glass urn looking perfume bottle. Also found a green glass disc that says HUSH. I must have been complaining.
Last but not least I found what I assume is a local milk bottle, but I have never run into this particular dairy before. Time to get out the reference books I guess.
Nothing spectacular, but I did not expect another digging day this year so everything was a bonus. Thanks for letting me share.
