With snow in the forecast and city work crews wanting to get this project done, this was probably the last day at the BIG bottle dump. The first find was the mug (pewter?) that was entangled in roots so much that it cracked the glass bottom and put a squeeze on the top. Took a bit to free it, but its in OK shape. Next was the medicine bottle, and then it was awhile digging through coal ash and rusted metal before I found the SYCo ink bottle? I was also getting too far in for my comfort level.

My fellow diggers also made some nice finds as this Dr. Kings NEW Discovery cough and cold cure:

He researched it and found that it was made in the late 1800s, and contained a combination of chloroform, morphine, and pine tar.....AKA snake oil!

The other digger found this nice bottle with Gilliettes Highgrade extract embossed on it, but he said he couldnt find any information about it. The owl on the sliver moon is very cool. More snake oil? :laughing:

Thanks for looking, and HH!
