Nice finds! What are the long pieces of metal with the holes in the top? Third row pic. I found a few of those here on my permission and did not know what they were.

Tent rope tighteners.

We find those at Spanish American War camps as well. Some have dates on them of 1880. I assume that's when this style was patented.

Cool looking bottle too! I think I'd find a wider window sill to set it on though!

Looks like a nice area to hunt. Any chance to get the old dog tag back to the family? That would be something they would cherish.

Nice finds. I’ve found Ind Brewing tokens around Pittsburgh. Cool to see an actual intact bottle. Probably 100 years old. Congrats
