Druggist Bottles Galore

 A couple of good friends join us this weekend. We started on a lot where we had dug 3 previous brick liners and had hope that we would find more. After probing next door here's what we found!

Wes and Keith starting on a shallow Privy / deep Trash Pit. Keith is holding a Knox druggist bottle.

A closeup of the bottle.


Then they just keep coming - sometimes in triplets. These bottles are not very plentiful but being that we are just right down the street the property owners of the day must have walked to the Knox Sundry Store (the drug store is still there) get there medicine.

Then an unknown Druggist comes up! Chas A. McArthur Sixth and Chelsea St. The bottles that we're finding are 1880s
