You know you're old....
You know you're old when familiar objects start showing up in archeological digs.
Latest item at KSHS:
Some medicine bottles found by archeologists.
The one on the right is listed as made by Owens Illinois from 1929 to 1954. I remember this as the standard bottle for liquid medications, both prescription and non-prescription. Everything from cough syrup to Calamine lotion. My hands remember unscrewing the cap on gooey Calamine, followed by relief when the lotion hit a mosquito bite.
I'm old.
Sidenote: KSHS seems to be on hiatus or something. Very few listings for several months.
