Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant The color and shape of the artifact indicate that it could be identified as a Victorian doll known as a “Frozen Charlotte”. The small size of 1 ½” was typical for the stature of a Frozen Charlotte and was often characterized by its’ pure white color of porcelain. Also, the indentation between the legs of the artifact matches that of a Frozen Charlotte doll. The indentation is created in order to create a likeness to a small child or cherub. What is present of the broken arm on the artifact is close to the body and protruding outwards, common characteristics found in Frozen Charlotte dolls. The doll was not meant to have mobile limbs in order to create a “frozen” effect. The dolls were originally manufactured in Germany in 1850 up until the 1920s. Frozen Charlotte was a very popular doll made in the Victorian era that acted as a symbol of obedience. It was manufactured primarily in Germany and quickly spread to France and America where other companies began manufacturing this unique doll. The doll was used initially as a “badekinder”, German for bathing kids, or a bath toy. Some suggest that the doll was put in cakes and desserts much like the custom during Mardi Gras. Others claim that the doll was created in order to remind Victorian women to “hide their vainness”. This comes from the poem that supposedly tells the story behind Frozen Charlotte. A young girl, Charlotte, refused to put on her cloak on a winter’s sleigh ride despite her mother’s insistence, and that night she died due to vainness and the cold (Fernandez).

Further research is needed to find the provenience and origin of creation for the bottle. Although the embossed star could relate to the “Star of David”, various websites state that these bottles held oil/perfume/medicine, and the initials were of the owner (1,6,7,8,9,10). The embossed star could potentially be a symbol of the six point Brewer’s Star (2,11). This could have been from a women’s and girl’s apparel department store in Reading, PA called C.K. Whitner Co.(3,4,5). The maker’s mark of company Hutch F. W. Muller Arlington Heights, ILL includes a similar star (12).

Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Glass bottles such as this one were commonly used for the distribution of milk starting around the turn of the last century. The way the system worked was that the customer paid for the milk itself, while the container was purchased by and belonged to the local dairy, and was meant to be reused several times. The wood or cardboard bottle caps used in bottles such as this one were meant to be disposable, so a new one could be used every time. B.M. Dickinson was probably the name of the individual dairy which owned the bottle, but there is no record of a Dickinson dairy in Chatham, New Jersey. Labeling laws required the dairy name be put on the bottles at around the turn of the last century. A similar bottle was found at the site of the Fairview House Hotel in Chatham but was from the Baldwin Brothers Farm. https://www.nj.com/independentpress/2020/07/in-chatham-a-buried-treasure-turns-into-a-bottle-project.html The light amethyst color of the glass is one of the most significant aspects of this artifact. This tint indicates that manganese was mixed into green glass to give it a clearer effect, but ultimately turning purple over time due to sun exposure. Manganese glass was used only between 1880-1925 with the majority of glass dating between 1890-1917. Based on observation of where the side seams of the bottle fade, the circular markings on the neck, the uneven nature of the finish and the way the glass becomes thicker as the neck meets the shoulder, this bottle displays all the qualities of a mouth-blown bottle with a tooled finish. This means that the finish and body were blown together in the mold with the finish then begin hand-tooled to a more precise shape. Most bottles with tooled finishes were produced after 1890 but hand-tooled finishes disappeared between 1910-1920 as fully automatic bottle-making machines took over. Harvey Thatcher Company in Potsdam, NY manufactured “Common Sense Milk Bottles” which were patented in 1889 and became the industry standard by 1900. The ledge inside the finish is one of the main features of the “Common Sense” bottle, as it serves to hold a cap in place - the ledge is called the cap seat. The cap size for this bottle would have been 1 ¾” and if this is a Thatcher bottle, that could be indicative of a date earlier than 1912 when most cap sizes were standardized at 1 ⅝”.

Title A name given to the resource DUPRS_0010 Hoyt's German Cologne bottle Subject The topic of the resource Hoyt's German Cologne Bottle Description An account of the resource The bottle is complete and well preserved. It is 9.2 cm. long from lip to base. The bore is 1 cm., the finish 0.9 cm., the neck 2.9 cm. in diameter, the shoulder 0.9 cm., the body 2.67 cm. and the base 3.1 cm. On the body of the bottle there is an indented panel with the words “Hoyt’s German Cologne E.W. Hoyt & Co. Lowell Mass”. On the bottom of the bottle is the number 3. An outside seam runs along both of the sides of the bottle all the way from the base to the finish. The color of the glass appears opaque but when illuminated by the light a purplish hue is evident. The purple (amethyst) could mean that the compound of the bottle is either nickel or manganese. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource E.W. Hoyt and Co.

The name "German" was originally applied to the cologne in 1870. This name was chosen just to give a definite title to the cologne; it was not actually from Germany. The cologne initially was only sold in $1.00 bottles, with sample vials filled with cologne freely distributed to create an increased demand. By 1877, the production of the German Cologne became so great that Hoyt sold the apothecary shop to two then employees, Crowell and Harrison. The original $1.00 bottle limited distribution since it was more cologne than most people needed (or wanted). Shedd designed a distinctive round bottle with the indented panel for use with the cologne and provided both the $1.00 and a new 25¢ trial-size bottle. This trial-sized bottle proved to be a huge success and business expanded quickly. The date when the trial-sized bottle was introduced is estimated to be in the early 1870's, since a medium-sized (50¢) bottle was introduced in 1876. The bottle could have been purchased and used from the 1880’s until around 1918 when the company’s name changed to “Eau de Cologne” because of World War I. It could have been shipped to New Jersey and used around the area of its discovery.

Guyot suspender clasps Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Selling at 60 cents a pair in 1907 (New York Times advertisement) the suspenders with these clasps were advertised as a European style for gentlemen and were priced quite high for the era as a luxury product. The brand had many French and German advertisements and only a few advertisements had photos in the records of the New York Public Library. The advertisements appear to be targeted to upperclass men shown fencing and in pursuits associated with the wealthier class. Ostheimer Bros in Philadelphia and New York figure in advertisements as distributors of the suspenders and an emphasis is on "Genuine Guyot Suspenders". There were issues about imitations and therefore one had to look for the CH Guyot and stars stamped on the metal pieces. Suspenders with CH Guyot adjuster clasps like those found in Chatham are in the Webb Cook Hayes Collection at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museums Catalog #1934.236.12. They are listed as associated with WWI. https://rbhayes.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/0D5368BA-68FE-4238-A6F8-476103406830 The significance of these data and objects for the Chatham Township site is that it provides additional chronological placement as well as provides information on what was being produced and manufactured at the Stanley Mill which was located in the area of the site where these artifacts are found. Similar artifacts are visible across the surface of the western mill area and in the same area where remnants of felt are found along with buttons, bricks and metal machine pieces. The question is why are there such a large number of these suspender adjusters and associated suspender pieces found at the site. Was there men's clothing being manufactured at the mill? Since these are associated with upper class men it is unlikely they are the result of workmen's clothing. This also would not explain the high number of examples present at the site. Relation A related resource CH. Guyot had factories in Germany, France and possibly Philadelphia. A 1907 advertisement from Ostheimer Bros. 1001 Chestnut St. Philadelphia pictures "Genuine Guyot Suspenders" which suggests these were being sold in Philadelphia but may not have been manufactured there.

Through research, it seems that the small buttons with only two holes were used in undergarments and were probably handmade based on the need of the owner/wearer. The larger buttons made from either ceramic or celluloid material (celluloid is a material only found in buttons made at the turn of the century or later) and were most likely used on everyday clothing, especially due to the simple ornate patterns. The rounded metal button was most likely fastened on the front of a coat jacket since they were used for a sturdier fasten and were not as susceptible to tear. The buckle button with writing is the hardest button to place out of the grouping. Though the writing is not completely legible, the style of font seems to indicate that this button was probably made by a button manufacturing company and displays the name of the company. Factory manufactured buttons found in more rural areas seem to indicate that their use was more for purposeful functions, rather than for fashion or status purposes and was probably seen on outerwear during the middle 19th century. These buttons offer a very interesting look into the personal interactions of the people who lived on this site probably in the middle to late 19th century. The materials used help to define social status as well as material availability as well as the type of clothing these people would have worn on a daily basis. Often the fabrics used to make clothing don’t survive so buttons allow for better interpretation as to what types of material culture was important to this specific society. The buckle button provides evidence that this community had access to trade or commerce which allowed for manufactured goods to be purchased and used for personal use.

Comparative examples of this amber glass bottle can be found on the internet and is described as containing pills and manufactured in the 1890’s in New York. Before Boericke & Tafel was founded, the origins of the company can be traced to Dr. Constantine Hering, the father of american homeopathy. He practiced in Philadelphia, PA and Hans Burch Ham, NY and founded one of the first homeopathic medical colleges in America. His best selling books influenced many other practitioners of homeopathy, such as William Radde, who was a bookstore manager for J. G. Wesselhoeft. He was relocated from PA to the NY branch of the bookstore and began selling homeopathic remedies. Eventually, William Radde became the sole owner of the franchise, which, “In 1869, F. E. Boericke and A. J. Tafel formed the partnership under the name of Boericke and Tafel. Together they bought the pharmacy and book-publishing business of William Radde in New York City. A. J. Tafel moved to New York to manage the business.” (http://www.herbmuseum.ca/content/boericke-tafel). Homeopathy gave rise in the 19th century especially after the 1849 cholera epidemic. “Because of the superior results achieved by homeopathic physicians, many orthodox doctors took up the practice of homeopathy. At the same time, many of the intelligentsia were attracted to homeopathy because of its scientific basis in experimental pharmacology.” (http://www.homeoint.org/cazalet/boericke/story.htm) Homeopathic remedies are still produced under the name Boericke and Tafel today. The amber hue of the bottle was probably to protect photosensitive contents. A variety of compounds could have been contained in this bottle, and they were even sold as “kits” that contained a number of remedites. Typically, there was a paper label adhered to each bottle.

Sources differ on the year Ridgway was founded and began production. According to some sources, production began in the beginning of the 19th century, and continued under various Ridgway companies until it became a part of Royal Doulton in the 1960s. W.P. Jervis’s 1911 A Pottery Primer says that Ridgway pottery began with Job Ridgway, who began a small company known as Job Ridgway and Sons in the late 1780s-1790s. He later sold his interests and his sons bought it back in 1806. It was originally manufactured in Staffordshire, England. According to another source, the company was known as John Ridgway and Co from 1814, then J and W Ridgway, W Ridgway, and W Ridgway and Son. In 1836 the name then changed again to W. Ridgway, Morley, Wear, and Co. John Ridgway was named Potter to Queen Victoria and traveled to America in the 1820s, establishing an export trade (the pottery was only ever produced in England). The Royal Crown and the Royal Arms were frequently used in the potter’s mark after 1850. The sherd is likely post 1820, when Ridgway pottery began being exported to America. It is possibly pre-1850 because it doesn’t have any royal markings. Because of the apparent confusion about the exact beginning and evolution of the Ridgway pottery brand, it was difficult to determine a more specific manufacture date; there is little information available about the variations in the Ridgway potter’s mark, although there are variations. Ridgway was known for good quality porcelain with blue designs. This, and the fact that it was an import from England, might indicate that items from this manufacturer were considered a luxury good, or at least more expensive than similar, domestic items. Without knowing the specific type of ceramic object this came from, it’s hard to speculate as to what specific cultural significance it had.

Title A name given to the resource DUPRS_0016 Selser's Glass Bottle Subject The topic of the resource Selsers Blossom Nectar Honey Bottle Description An account of the resource The artefact is fragmentary as it is the bottom of a glass bottle. The square bottom is intact and shows embossed letters spelling: WM A SELSER. The biggest side piece is a corner with the side bearing two embossed letters: AR. The average glass thickness is 0.5 cm. The glass is clear with two bubbles on the bottom – each bubble having a proximate diameter of 1 mm. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource The artefact is likely the bottom of a WM A Selser Blossom Nectar bottle.

The bottle was probably manufactured between the late 1880s and 1910s. Since the artefact is only a small portion of the original bottle, it is difficult to give a more accurate date. William Selser bought land in Pennsylvania and started a bee farm based in Philadelphia. Selser came from a family long involved with various manufacturing industries. Earlier in his life Selser was involved with both leather tanning and fruit importing. Selser’s honey manufacturing was at one time known as the “most complete honey-bottling works” in the world. He sold honey primarily in the tristate area. While there is some information about his business when he first started selling honey there is little to do with the business in later years. So one can only give a general idea of the bottle’s origins. It may have been purchased and thrown out or it could have been kept and passed down through the generations.
