Found on the Folly - Folly-Larking 10 May 2021

 I explored a different part of Collard's Folly today.

This is the collection of the items I found.



An interesting collection!

1 Pinnacle # 4 gold golf ball, I googled it, one blog site listed it as the number 1 worst golf ball ever made (not worth picking up) ....  now they tell me!

2 unidentified porcelain shards

2 unidentified glass shards

1 antique crowbar (rusted), circa unknown.  Why is it called a crowbar?

1 Unidentified round clear jar - I'm still doing research on this one

1 Unidentified medicine bottle

1 ring pull tab for a vintage soda can circa 1963 -1980

I found this interesting website regarding the invention of the tin can, (Napoleon is linked to the invention of the tin can) very, very interesting!!!

1 Piece of clear depression glass with bubble pattern circa 1937

2 bottle necks unidentified

1 plastic Consol bottle of pure white pepper "Moir's", made in Cape Town John Moir Pty Ltd, can't find any information on this product.  

Will still try and find info on this one.  I didn't know that Consol also made plastic bottles or that Moir's distributed a range of spices.  I only know them keep a range of baking supplies and puddings. This is the first vintage plastic bottle that I have found on the Folly.
