Did some digging last evening on the site of an old 1920's speakeasy. From my past excavations here it is clear they had a good time up until the summer of 1924 when the artifacts abruptly stop (last dated newspaper from August 24th 1924). Anyway here are some of the finds from my latest dig:
This was the first little whiskey jug I excavated:
And this is the second jug. I find it fascinating how despite being tiny it still retains the proper proportions as would be expected of jugs larger in size:
This is an old fiddle pattern fork likely from the last quarter of the 19th century, it appears to be some sort of copper/nickle alloy:
This is a masonic cup made from a zinc alloy. The writing indicates it was presented for an Masonic event held at the Hotel Astor in NYC on April 12th 1907:
This is a clay pipe bowl fragment marked "Dublin Pipe No. 1", this is the first clay pipe fragment I have found:
A tooled-crown Clicquot-Club soda bottle:
"The Chief" brass whistle Pat. April 21st 1914:
A large clay shooter. This is the largest clay marble I have ever found:
And I just found this 1964 dime in the coin star:
