DUMP DIGGING FINDS- AND QUESTIONS.

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Out to the woods digging a dump. This one on
old farmland--think it would date 1940's-1950's.
Only went down 6-8 inches and petered out.

10 small bottles, drugs? They have a tin cover
that has been pierced. Would this be for humans
or animals. (note hypo next to bottles)

Tall skinney bottle next to brown pints is from
"Omega Oil". Will post a photo under bottle
area.

Small bottle in back with handle? Woman thinks
it could have been smell stuff. Will post photo
under bottle section.

Thought the white one was a "Ponds" when I first
saw it, but it is "Cudahy Packing Co" will also post
photo in bottle section.

Jar porcelain liners, few with lead covers; note two on
right have melted from a burn down of the dump at some
time.

Small item next to the white jar is a compact. will post
photo another post, very, very small.

Misc other items, file, door lock, pencil (mech),
and who knows what nots.

all have a good un.

i love to dig in old bottle dumps. i have found a lot of neat bottles. the real good ones are better,s bottles and old poison bottles with the skull and cross bones on them. beware of bees nest and snakes while digging while warm. the two bottles i just told you about are worth some money. you might all ready know that. good luck

Finding that many drug vials and the hypo, I would guess it's human insulin. Quite a few people keep this stuff out of necessity. Monty
