      Me too! Also, do you keep the bottles? Or trade/sell/donate to museums. What makes a bottle valuable? Maybe just show highlights of the dig, and more time on what you do with the bottles. Thank you!

    fun fact - the Larkin factory is now a multi-use building in Buffalo with offices, event venues and more. When I lived there (pre pandemic) they also had food truck festivals each week. the whole neighborhood around the factory is called larkinville.

    I think people back then had brand loyalty just like we do today. If that bright blue bottle had a great-smelling cream in it the lady of the house would have treated herself to it again and again as long as it was available. The man of the house had no trouble treating himself to liquors! 😉 Both of you are doing a great job with your videos! 😊

    my grandparents and my next door neighbors had outhouses-post prohibition and depression there weren't cool bottles or anything other than a little bit of old paper-(I looked)- they were all so frugal and never drank so any and all bottles and jars were reused until they broke-my grandparents lived in a 1800's house that eventually burned down and my neighbors home was demolished a few years ago-it's sad we have forgotten so much recent history-Thank you Jake and Tom for sharing with us-side note-Jake you have seriously great hair!

    • @davidwhitten2097
      @davidwhitten2097 7 місяців тому

      @Missangie827, If that house dated back to the 1800s there would have been outhouse(s) on the property for many, many years long before you were born, and all kinds of stuff could have been thrown into them or lost in them for many decades.... if you meant that you "looked through the hole" and saw nothing but some toilet paper, that doesn't mean there wasn't other stuff that had sank down and buried out of sight years ago, not to mention many years of stuff before then. Some houses had 2 or 3 or even more outhouses over a 100-year period. Some outhouse pits can be as deep as 10 feet or even much deeper, depending on area of the country and the individual wants / needs of the persons who built the house or lived in it. There are probably items buried several feet down in the ground where that outhouse used to stand!!

    It's interesting to try to take yourself back in time, say there was a boarding house there and men would use their empty beer or whiskey bottles to relieve themselves. Honestly, say it's winter and wake up in the middle of the night and just have to pee and don't want to go out into the cold night to use the outhouse. Who wants to carry a big chamber pot out to empty if it wasn't a #2. I get up once a night to take a leak at least. Maybe that's why some different ages are found at the same levels in the pit. Use your imagination and try to think what it would have been like back then without indoor toilets.
