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. 👍
@@alexbaker9967 This was an outhouse (before indoor plumbing) and people would throw household trash down into the pit. The Milk bottles were simply discarded after use (though most companies would urge you to return the bottles for a deposit, just like nowadays) Many people didn't
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.
Rieger Bottlling Works, more than likely used the BInghamton Glass Works, NY for its supplies of beer bottles.

The Binghamton plant was the primary manufacturer of bottles for Dr. Kilmer and his swamp root empire, but also manufactured druggists, flask, beer and soda water bottles.

Sure! Rob and I (Shayne) both do eBay, but we plan to do something in the future, likely an auction style format, for selling our finds we dig up. You are welcome to purchase some, though. Feel free to email us at dumpdigger607@gmail.com
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.

LOL! Savages 🤣
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers how did all of those milks get down there

Keep saving history fellas..👍
Thanks Steve! Had a blast over the weekend. Was great digging with all of you guys and look forward to digging more in the future!
Great finds enjoyed watching
Thanks man
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!
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.✌
Was nice to dig some of the rare ones, just wish we got more of them! But hey, they are rare for a reason

Absolutely! It's amazing what can survive in the ground
Killed it on the Milks! Some real nice rare local pints 🍀⚡🏴☠️
Thanks man! Always aiming for the older stuff, but this was a fun pit. Can't complain!

Binghamton Glass Company (1897-1920+) could be the source for all of the Binghamton milk bottles of the area as weel.
Are you guys selling bottles online anywhere? Would love to get some.

The cracks once cleaned yoe can use resin uv to shure them up. Makes then up cycling's bottles which command a good price.
WTs marks are the Whitall Tatum of Millville, New Jersey, (1806 -1938).
Keep the ones that can be made in to drink cups, that are broken.
We usually do unless they have a crack that exceeds the line of which they would be cut
Joseph Laurer Brewing Co. of Binghamton, NY opened in 1894 and closed in 1920.
Very possible that bell-shaped jar was a children's candy jar - along with other series of trucks, trains, ship, bear, bell, etc 1920s +/-.
What bell shaped jar are you referring to? The one Ryan thought was a Lincoln bank is a salt/pepper or sugar shaker
@@ParlorCityPickersDiggers Need to see some vids of the clean bottles and jars ... like you mentioned Combination Mason ...
Any interest in selling the Travelers Insurance piece?
Hi Mark. I'd consider selling it, sure. You can email us at dumpdigger607@gmail.com
What were the full embossings of the amber beer bottles (couldn't see the bottle clearly in vid or clean (!) of the diagonal script you called a "Standard" ... and ? Krieger Bottling Company R B W (--------) ?
At the end of the video there are photos that show a more legible image. Should be able to read them in the photos. The RBW is "Rieger Bottling Works"
Couldn't see much of that top but inner screw?
Not threaded, but kind of appears that way. I'll have to include a photo in one of the next vids. Wish RUclips allowed photo comments
Milk bottle lip potentially the original models for folding tin covers hiding the inside paper pull tab lid.
I've only seen a handful of milks with that style lip. All are pretty early, 19-teens
