Junk Below My Garden

Bonnie Kirschner
by Bonnie Kirschner
My house was built in 1907. I've lived here since 2001. My garden has been in the same spot for over a decade. I think that's the spot where they buried their garbage in the late 30s to early 40s since I've found things from that era when tilling every year. This year we decided to dig down further & sift the soil. This (among many nails & glass shards) was discovered. The vial is about 2" tall. One side has a dog on it & the other side has graduated measurements. My house is located across the street from where the city hospital was from 1883-1984.

    That is so cool! I collect old bottles and I've never seen anything like that. Maybe eBay? Or you can always google it. It would look so cute grouped with other small bottles, on a tray, with flowers from your garden!
