Keep saving history fellas..👍

Great finds enjoyed watching

Killed it on the Milks! Some real nice rare local pints 🍀⚡🏴‍☠️

Someone was drinking a lot of milk stouts (milk + stout mix). Best of both worlds.

I bet the Cloverdale dairy was wondering where all their bottles were going!

Finding milk bottles is a plus. We dug up over 2,000 milks in a months time from two different dumps. Interesting fact: The Dairy we dug next to didn't throw their own bottles out, they threw other dairies bottles in their dump. They evidently got customers by taking other dairies bottles off peoples porches and leaving their own products. 👍

If you find jelly jars or drinking glasses, makers mark looks like a chess piece pawn (actually a ship's pier mooring ballard = capstan) - it is Capstan Glass Company, South Connellsville, Pennsylvania (1919-1938). They made pressed glass dishes, tumblers, pickle jars, etc. Eventually, taken over by Anchor Hocking Glass Co in 1939/1940.

Wow someone sire liked their milk. If only they would've drank the correct one. At least you were able to get a few nice pieces. Take care.✌

I'm always surprised to see wood still left in these old privies. The ammonia and high PH conditions of the slurry that used to sit inside there... amazes me there's any of it left.

The cracks once cleaned yoe can use resin uv to shure them up. Makes then up cycling's bottles which command a good price.

In 1882, William Burrows acquired the works and it became known as the Binghamton Glass Works.

In 1897, the company was incorporated and continued to offer a general line of bottles and jars. The company never installed automatic bottle machines and was not able to compete with the changing tide. The company shifted its focus to specialty blown wares and as a wholesalers of glass for other manufacturers. They continued to manufacture glass until about 1926. The company remained active until about 1945, when the last owners died and the property was sold. The markings appear on the base of the bottle.
