Returned to last week's dump and, continuing the dig, uncovered a few more milks. Another Cloverleaf (Gary, Ind.) Qt from 1946, two more half-pint Dixie's (Gary, Ind) 1947 & 1949, A nice dual-use half-pint Thompson's Chesterton, Ind/Gateway New Buffalo, Mich. from 1949, and three Vernor's Ginger Ale, all 1946. There was a slew of slick (unembossed) half-pint milks and an unembossed slug-plate Qt. milk.. Plus the usual rusty cans (conetop beers!) and junk.
This dump is not finished yet, I will return yet again.
Update 1-7-19 Hit the dump again before the rain came (yes-rain in January!). I found more milks and sodas but only brought 5 back.
Half-Pints: Borden's (1947), Producer's Creamery- Benton Harbor, Mich. 1947, LC United- Indiana Harbor, Ind. (now East Chicago, Ind.) 1947, QUARTS: Nelson Farm Dairy- McCool, Ind. (1946) and another Cloverleaf from Gary, Ind. 1942 with a war imprint. Was hoping the two Pyro quarts would be savable, but the 70+ year dirtnap took it's toll. The Nelson's looks to be a desirable bottle according to the book. I will probably save the Nelson until a better one comes along.
This dump still has more to offer.
