My mom took me to a bottle dump site(one of her secret recipes) and I found a few whole, among them the pictured Meier's wine bottle. The whole inscription reads:
"Isle of St. George
Meier's Wine Cellars Inc.,
Silverton, Ohio"
It's a small 6 - 2/5ths OZS. bottle, in really good shape. It was a surface find believe it or not. Did have to dig a few though.
The Meier's Juice company is still in business after some 125 years or so.
Mixed in...a nice antler shed found on the cusp of the bank and sandbar. First I have ever found.
A few metal articles...If you know what the spiral saw blade thing is...let me know. I was thinking an ice plug/hole cutter? I don't think it would be for anything heavier...because it could only take a 1/2" shaft and the the saw coil is too springy to handle a lot of resistance and torque...but I'm no expert. Or it's just a neatly, elegantly bent up half of a band saw blade?
The other fancy looking metal deal is cast iron and ornate in my opinion...the style makes me think it's turn of the century to early 10s. But again, I'm no expert. I also found a small handful of bones, snail shells, agates and red jasper...I collect everything I think.
And that's my 70+, post-medial-meniscus-repaired mother digging in the dump. I'll be sure to post some of the things she's done with these fragmentary relics collected over the years.
