🪵⛏️ YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT’S HIDING UNDER THE TOPSOIL!
While setting posts on a job recently, we unearthed ANOTHER BOTTLE — making 5 total this month across just 2 job sites! 🤯
And the crazy part? In 40 years, I’ve only ever found 2 other intact bottles!
This one is an awesome antique green-glass b**r bottle, and the glass itself gives us some pretty cool clues about its history:
🍺 The Brewery: It’s embossed with “PHILA.” and “NACHOD” on the shoulder, pointing to the historic Class & Nachod Brewing Co. in North Philadelphia.
📜 The Era (~1913–1919): The bottle is marked “CONTENTS 12 1/2 FLUID OUNCES,” a marking consistent with bottles from the early 1900s. Class & Nachod was gone by the time Prohibition took effect in 1920, putting this bottle firmly in the pre-Prohibition era.
⚙️ The Machine Mark: There’s also a “6” molded near the bottom edge, likely identifying the mold/cavity used to manufacture the bottle.
So while we come out to build strong, custom fences, getting an unexpected little history lesson every time we dig is easily one of the coolest perks of the job.
Just think… someone drank this b**r right here more than 100 years ago. 🍺🤯
Anybody else ever dig up something cool or unexpected on their property?
