Silver buckle and lots of embossed bottled today

junkhunter · May 31, 2015

Went digging with Rob today. We dug a bunch of test holes but all the privy's were all ready dug. Did get a Rumford bottle out of one and a broken blob top h. Muller. I kept it just because it was close to complete as I ever get.(not counting the rare few I got) But one of my test holes did hit either a shallow privy or dump hole. The guys down their could care less about embossed stuff but I like it. So I dug it out. The tall clear bottle with cursive words says" Valentine Franz co 2517 n 2nd st Philly." Then I got 2 "Lozogo Del Dr Pietro. prepared by doctor peter ? and sons Chicago Il USA." , Got 4 American Brewing Co Philly PA bottles. 2 different colors and tassels on flag staff are different on one so 3 out of 4 bottles different. ,Wolman milk bottle, Ac Barnes co Philly on base one the clear bottle. And found the stopper to the shattered blob in the hole " John f. betz &son Philadelphia PA." I had 2 shattered blobs in pit among a bunch of other bottles. The bottle top is " consolidated fruit jar company NY." And lastly a silver buckle. Rob tested it .Thanks for hunt Rob and testing buckle.

hay! good dig. If you are in the Philly area , there is hundreds of guys digging privy's. I would dig one or two a weekend , when I lived over in jersey back in the 1980's . Privy diggers tend to avoid common and machine made bottles , especially from philly. so if you are in to that stuff , well there is a lot our there.

Couldn't have said it better myself. ..the privy dug bottles more often than not, go into the display case. ..while the others, depending a number of mitigating factors, either get sold on flea bay or the next bottle show..
