Amazing recoveries ! The blue and white plate is gorgeous !! What's up with the Spirit of the Times
Did you find that down there ? Did you find a glass bell ?
The old Spirit of the Times newspaper I found under some old linoleum over the trap door in the dining room floor when I first went down under -Argentium-. And yes I did find a glass bell down there as well.
Nice collection! Folks back then rid themselves of trash were they could; be it outhouse, ravine or tossed below the floorboards. No better place for preservation! Guessing those are post 1870, so no pontiled glass?
