Construction site bottles

[NOLA_Ken]

A few days ago I was driving past a construction site and saw glittery piles of dirt. So I stopped and dug around and scored some pretty good bottles.

First is a Grand Union Tea Co. Early 1900's From Brooklyn NY, I'm guessing some sort of extract


Two different varieties of Mrs. Winslows


A Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin from Monticello IL


3 inks, a Waterman's, a Carter's 1897, and a Thomas


Steubenville Drug Co from Ohio


Dr. D Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge

The Mother Siegels Syrup Co


Wakefields Blackberry Balsam

St Jakobs Oil


Virginia Dare Extract


A nice little flask


2 nice old whiskeys and a beer, Beer bottle made by William Franzen and Sons Milwaukee, One whiskey marked Wisconsin Glass Co and the other one is unmarked, but is very similar


These were all found in an area that was once close to the Arkansas River, before it was moved out of the center of downtown after a catastrophic flood in 1921. Some of the glass was slightly purple which make me think this was an open dump spot at one time. I find bottles from all over the country here, and I imagine it's because Pueblo was a major railroad hub at one time...

Anyway, thanks for looking, and good luck to all

Years ago I was working for the gas utility out here (PG&E) and we were installing underground electric in an older part of town.

At one point the side of the trench caved in and all these awesome bottles tumbled into the hole!

I jumped in and was placing them along the edge of the trench and before I new it all these by standers came by and were grabbing them!

I couldn’t get out of the trench fast enough to stop them!!

Wow, great finds. They put my 1940's bottles to shame. You struck absolute gold.

Nothing wrong with 1940's bottles, I have a few nice sodas from the 40's
