I've been busy lately, but I do have more pics to post, Thanks for bearing with me! 🙂 This is end of 1800's, Est 1896. Installing water main on Park Street. Bet they would have loved an excavator!

Todays new bottle, with thanks to Justin Petelle, Maine Bottle Hunter. Early 1900's milk bottle from "Wanderbrook" Farm. I have found that this was on Portland Road, near Subway. The plaza is even called Wonderbrook Plaza, though I never really noticed that little detail. I am just putting this all together, so any info is always appreciated. Love this old stuff! 😊

I got lucky today and scored 5 more bottles from Justin Petelle, Maine Bottle Hunter. I already had several of each, but cannot pass up being the protector of the history. They are beautiful, and I am so thankful to have met someone who shares the same passion as myself. I see good times ahead for us. 🙂
