    Heavy artillery from 1862. Yes they look like cement mixers too. I can only imagine what they would do but the range was probably not very far.

    I found a coke bottle like the 1915 version near a build site from pre 1920. It's on my bench at work. I'll grab a picture soon. Found this Pepsi Cola bottle a few years ago too. Blue glow is from the TV. 20201117_193450.jpg
