Hope you two had as much fun as I did especially when you came up with that Indian Tree dinner ware, I have a service for 12 in the same pattern, I've look for many years to add to my collection but have only found 3 peices and here you dig one up. Again to you Jake my boy it was a pleasure seeing the other half, I do enjoy watching your participation because I know Tom appreciate you and together you two put out wonderful videos.

    The fact these bottles survived 150 plus years is amazing. The fact all this stuff was available in the Dakota Territories in the 1850s is astounding. You could see this type thing being available in the east back then but this was the frontier back then. Wages were hard to come by back then so they weren't thought to be spent on stuff like hair tonic and perfume and plates. Just think about the logistics to get that stuff out there. Most of that stuff had to be freighted out there in wagons.

    There were reasons to use chemicals (chemical bottles) at the house over the years which included when the home had infestations, bugs and parasites. Doctors would prescribe various remedies including mercury mixes to use everywhere.
