I appreciate the helpful info. I had loked at that wiki page and that was why I had mentioned the early dates. Due to the moving to NJ and the year they started making surveying equipment I assumed this was one of their earlier pieces. As for the coke bottles thanks for the dates. All of these came from the Ewa Beach area. Not gonna ask for any areas but is there much reason for me to look on the west side for dig sites?
Thanks again,

Aloha Fishaddicit....You are welcome for the information...As for dig sites on the West-side...Unfortunately a lot of the good areas are all developed...I looked along the Old Fort Weaver Road behind the old store and found nothing, my friend did find a early Ewa Bottling Works behind the store, just luck...I dug recently with a friend by the old Waipahu sugar mill pump house along the river, it's all dug up but there are pockets of areas that are not dug, the place is very dusty and a dust mask is required, the dirt is also very loose and tends to come down when you start getting to deep and start to undermine so you gotta be very careful not to bury yourself, there are also homeless people living by the pump house in the bushes, I've never had any problems with them but I would keep an eye on my stuffs...we found a few 1920's sodas from Waipahu soda works, Ewa soda works, Oahu soda works Aiea and a Dairysmen milk bottle...another place is down Yokohama, I've never been there but know a few people who dug there before...Like fishing, you gotta be consistent and luck plays a big part in finding bottles...hope this help aloha Kaz
