Good work, Watson!<br /><br />LindaM,<br />The tiny bottles were probably medicine bottle dumped with trash that has probably decomposed. They may have burned the trash, so bottle were all that was left. My brother stopped by a construction site after work every day in Nashville and found many bottles unearthed. He carried home the whole ones, some over a hundred years old.<br /><br />I forgot the fugitive aspect. Or, maybe some crook took refuge there and the family did not know. <br /><br />Pamela,<br />Those are uninspiring finds but might be valuable if you needed to touch up paint or replace a tile. Whoever left them specifically for you. That was nice of the former owner/s.<br /><br />Someday, you will have an attic and find goodies.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-81353673124165759972012-05-03T21:36:09.182-05:002012-05-03T21:36:09.182-05:00This is so cool!

There were some old cans of paint and brown tiles the former owner left in the closet when I moved in 13 years ago, lol!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11890268843343589071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321084510373631678.post-40179221176024429242012-05-03T12:18:51.928-05:002012-05-03T12:18:51.928-05:00Hmm.....they harbored a fugitive in your attic.

Here's what I found about the Crescent News & Hotel Company: "Crescent News & Hotel Company was a news stand and cigar store that operated at several locations in New Orleans from the 1880’s until the 1930’s." (from a page of "encased cents" at: http://www.louisiana-trade-tokens.com/encased.html ). And this: "John H. Conniff was president of the Crescent News & Hotel Company and had other large and important business interests." (from a 1924 article about John H's son John R. Conniff at: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/LAARCHIVE/2006-10/1160233623 ). I bet there's more out there but I have to go to work! :-)Rochelle Skolnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18234378747304279532noreply@blogger.com
