solcarlus Posted September 12, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 12, 2018 Bonjour. This bottle of ketchup "H.J. HEINZ " was found in a dustbin of a WWI camp of US troops in Argonne. Sol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlewilly Posted September 12, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 12, 2018 Guess that is proof enough that these bottles actually made it to France. Many thanks! MHJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashdive Posted September 12, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 12, 2018 Now that is cool! Was the dustbin dug from the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solcarlus Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted September 14, 2018 Now that is cool! Was the dustbin dug from the ground? Yes, the garbage cans are buried. A hole was dug and the waste was thrown into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray175INF Posted September 14, 2018 Share #5 Posted September 14, 2018 Yea that's definitely a cool find and would look good amongst a WW1 display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solcarlus Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share #7 Posted September 15, 2018 Kim. I didn't find the bottle. He's a friend of yours. There were other vials, but not identifiable, without markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwb123 Posted September 16, 2018 Share #11 Posted September 16, 2018 It's interesting how things that were most common back in the day are the hardest ones to find in the present. Everyday items were of such little value, nobody thought to save them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
