| Examples of the many bottles and jars found; some provided important clues in dating the site. The bottle on bottom left probably held a toiletry item and was made before 1900, whereas the "shoo-fly" picnic flask (bottom right) was fully machine made after 1920 and likely held whiskey. The bottle on the far right (bottom row) carries more information, an embossed label marked " Dr. J.J. Tobin, Druggist, Austin, Texas." Early city directories tell us Dr. Tobin operated in Austin from 1872 to 1896. |
