It seems like the last word in English is "flower."
I want to go dig up some bottles but how far would I need to dig to start finding some. (I want to dig at an old trash dump)
I know someone who does a lot of diving around old ponds and usually I have no trouble dating/finding information on some of the old bottles he finds. This one stumps me so far. Does anyone have any information on t?
My wife and I are renovating the basement of our 100+ year old house. Renovating is maybe the wrong word. The basement was never finished in any way other than two storage closets. When I tore down all the existing structures in the basement we found this wrapped in corrugated "cardboard/paper". It was in an enclosure built directly above the top plate of one of the walls. It damn near fell out and smashed on the floor but with some luck the top plate of the wall didn't come all the way loose when I was removing it and the bottle sort of got stuck between the board above it and rested on the board I was removing. It was very much put there to be found by someone who removed the wall. It has never been opened but either leaked or evaporated over the years. I do not know when the two storage rooms were built but the base plate for the wall this was hidden above was secured to the ground using square nails.
The Empire Bottling Works label is a sticker that was put on top of the original California Brandy label. There are no other labels or words on the bottle other the the repeat of ONE QUART on the bottom.
I've searched for Empire Bottling Works , Saint Paul Minnesota and can't seem to find anything relevant. And also California Brandy is obviously too broad of a term.
I wasn't sure where to start so I thought maybe this sub could point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
