    R. E. L. Gunter flask Enfield NC

    Nice flask! All I can tell you is it's likely from the 1900's-1910's...mmm then again it may be slightly earlier since it doesn't have the typical "Warranted Flask" embossing on it. Idk, were clear circle slug flasks made in the 1890's? Maybe someone here knows.

    Hi from Fairmont/Morgantown WV

    Welcome! I've been searching for bottles since 2020, I have found one 1915 patent coke and one 1923 patent coke in that entire time, but the most fun is simply finding the mid-20th century bottles with the most obscure manufacturer marks embossed on the bottoms. Apparently Coca-Cola wanted...

    Info on 1920s Flapper 9 oz amber bottle

    It's beautiful! To think that scantily clad woman was the daughter of a Victorian age mother who was likely shy to even show an ankle, let alone a thigh.

    Apothecary bottles

    I know this one, Bell-Ans was a patent medicine formerly called Papayans, they were small candy-like tablets made by Bell and Co. Inc. It claimed to be a cure-all made from the papaya fruit but in 1909 the Journal of the American Medical Association did an analysis of the medicine's contents...

    Any info on this WILLIAM UNDERWOOD & CO. BOSTON - 32 OZ Pickle Bottle?

    I think that's the stick used for a butter turn.

    First find in a few years...

    Nice! I started finding bottles for the first time at the start of the plandemic too, wanted to stop, but kept being dragged back in by some invisible force, I see it's got you too!

    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    Oh yeah! These old tooled large logo Ruppert bottles predate Yankee Stadium, the Ruppert bottles with the smaller circular logo on the top would have been the kind served in Yankee Stadium in its early days. I once found one of these newer Ruppert bottles from the 1920's sitting in a crevice in...

    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    All in the ocean on the edge of land where people likely went swimming, fishing and such. The bottles were likely on land originally but erosion washed them down into the water where they got burried in the mud all next to eachother in an area about 5 feet across. Some where near the surface...

    Huge Blob Top Beer Bottle Hoard (New Personal Record) 4/19/2024

    I dug all these bottles from the mud today. Apparently someone really liked David Mayer beer 120 years ago. All the bottles were in the same area so I think it was the same person drinking them and stashing them, but they never came back to cash their deposits. Bottles include: 1. David Mayer...

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    Yeah, I once found an iron artifact in the ocean when I was a kid, put it away, and years later when I found it again it had disintegrated to dust. Now when I find iron artifacts from the sea I have a whole process involving fresh water, boiling fresh water, anti-rust solutions, boiling oil and...

    They seem to be made of some type of bronze, quite resistant to corrosion.
