Unearthed pottery from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake

By kailunasol, 24 July, 2012
Description

The San Francisco earthquake of 1906 was a major earthquake that struck San Francisco and the coast of Northern California
at 5:12 a.m. on Wednesday, April 18, 1906.
The earthquake and resulting fire are remembered as one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the United States.

Buried in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and recovered in 2006 under 25 Ft of soil. 
My father is an Excavator and was working in San Francisco off of 6th St. He unearthed many pots and bottles that have been buried for 100 years. 

The information that we have so far is as follows.
