Since Owens Bottle Co merged with Illinois Glass in 1929, your privy
doubtless was abandoned at the latter end of your suspected range.

Does anyone have any information on Owens-Illinois plant #19?
I'm looking at a 4" ABM clear medicine bottle with 19 as the plant
number, 1 as the year and the diamond-O mark in the middle. The bottle
was recovered from a privy feature dating between 1900 and the 1930s,
possibly into the 1940s.  I've checked Toulouse and lots o' websites,
but I can't seem to find any info on the location or dates of operation
for plant #19.  A bit of help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
