If you live in a 1830's House, did you look for your Privy?

Beautiful clear med bottle; I believe it says "S.S. Lightbody Co.", but I can not find anything related to it.

This is another one local to you, from Waterville ME.

Looks like Lightbody was also illegally selling liquor: https://lldc.mainelegislature.org/Open/Rpts/PubDocs/PubDocs1905v1/PD1905v1_04.pdf

Not yet - a digging probe is the next on my list of bottle-digging related purchases, though I have found several broken tops (mostly turn of the 20th century meds) and definitely older glass shards on the property before.

Nice find! I'm amazed that the Press Herald article didn't come up in my search. That bottle is a particularly nice one for the time period and style, with really crisp lines on both the embossing and the bottle, crazy that it was technically a local med.

Omg that is an amazing dig. Got a bit of everything there. Even a cobalt ink. Great finds
