During the spring and summer of 1984 a friend and I hitch hiked and hopped freight trains around the country looking for insulators and such. Here, someone had recently removed the early "Chinese Laundry" and exposed some 1900 vintage trash. Lots of master ink and bluing bottles and many 121 tolls. Sent four or five boxes of glass home. All I had to dig with was a stick.
