The guys from Lowder who were working on demolition of the rear retaining wall found a number of mostly intact old bottles that had been buried in the fill, and they pulled them out and passed them on to me. I haven't gotten them cleaned up yet, but I think they'll be suitable souvenirs of that project and the passing of that old wall. I was excited to see that two of them are easily identifiable: a vintage Dr. Pepper bottle and a vintage Nehi bottle. Unfortunately, the Nehi bottle has a chipped rim at the opening at the top but that just gives it character. It's not like I'd be looking to sell them anyway.
