I don't suppose the privy was behind a funeral parlor, were they? Embalming fluid?

That's what I was wondering, if maybe it represents a grave with stones on top?

No this was dug in a 22 foot deep 6 foot wide brick liner. The guy was a "Daisy flour" king of "Clapboard town" what it was called back then. The wife was a healer and made medicine. Some good chit, no doubt [:D]

Here is the story on that dig."The privy/well" It is after "privy's by the yard"

Good eyes Micah, I'd have never seen that.

What does it say though?

I see the rock pile link. But I don't see the rock pile logo. That would be a trip if that was it. it would go back to my original guess. "The Rock Pile Bottle" [:)]

TRADE on the left, MARK on the right.


ohhh yeah I knew that was there I studied that bottle to death when I dug it. I also see what looks like weeds or flowers on the bottom.
I am talking about on the web site you put up. Where do you see that "rock pile" is connected to my bottle? I don't see anything but the word rock pile.

That was just grasping for straws. Not even that really, it's a region in California.
