2 bottles from my latest digthing - 3/29/2007 4:51:32 PM    HunterGatherer   Posts: 98 Joined: 12/21/2006 Status: offline Any ideas on this logo? The dump appeared to be from the 60s but the bottle denies that idea.

Check out this wierd bottle! [IMG]http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g258/Preturbed/Bottles/DSCF0519.jpg[/IMG] Any idea what it was for? I'll edit this up a little better later. Peace Isaac Post #: 1

RE: 2 bottles from my latest digthing - 3/29/2007 7:29:00 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline That is a pre 1900 beer bottle. I have one just like it. I had thought the AB was Anhauser Busch but I think I found it was possibly American Bottle Co. I will try to find the research I did on it and get back to you. It is a common bottle  not that valuable but very nice noe the same. Joel _____________________________ (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 5

RE: 2 bottles from my latest digthing - 3/29/2007 8:00:20 PM    HunterGatherer   Posts: 98 Joined: 12/21/2006 Status: offline Thanks Joel and Warren. Do either of you have any idea on the other bottle? The reason I said it looked like chess turned into a drinking game was because the top looks like a Rook. The sides remind me of castle walls, too. Such a cool bottle, big as my forearm. Oh, there's a thread at the base of the chesspiece that makes exactly one rotation. (in reply to capsoda) Post #: 7

Joel No, like I said, there's a thread at the base of the "rook" that goes around the outside just once. I'm inclined to think it had some sort of screw-on cup for a lid.

RE: 2 bottles from my latest digthing - 3/29/2007 9:37:41 PM    epgorge Posts: 2422 Joined: 12/29/2006 Status: offline I have never seen it before but the shape of it leads me to think it is a food jar of some sort. The lip seems dipped in a couple of places. Is that for pouring or are they chips? Nice bottle by the way. I would like to see again after it is cleaned up.

RE: 2 bottles from my latest digthing - 3/30/2007 1:54:55 AM    HunterGatherer   Posts: 98 Joined: 12/21/2006 Status: offline They are definately not chips. For high/low points are evenly spaced all the way around. I guess it could be for pouring. http://www.staff.olympia.org/external/EastWeb/Chess%2520Website/rook.jpg I wonder are there more out there, so I can have a complete giant glass bottle chess set? < Message edited by HunterGatherer -- 3/30/2007 1:55:13 AM > (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 11

RE: 2 bottles from my latest digthing - 3/30/2007 6:24:04 PM    HunterGatherer   Posts: 98 Joined: 12/21/2006 Status: offline So the number 67 on the bottom doesn't indicate the year it was produced? These things always confuse me. EDIT: Oh, and the AB bottle has 9-B embossed in tiny letters on the bottom of the side in case it matters. < Message edited by HunterGatherer -- 3/30/2007 7:01:36 PM > (in reply to epgorge) Post #: 19

I love that pickle jar! I am trying to do something similar, illustrating some of the bottles and other things I have collected over the years. Spencer was giving me a hand getting started with it which I thought was pretty cool for him to do. I have a long way to go with it. Would like to add some more text to it at a later date, once things start going right around here gain! With my computer breaking down, kind of brought things to a halt. This old computer will not recognize my camera for some reason. I have been trying to do some scans on some of the bottles, but the outcome is not too impressive as for the quality of the pictures. I will get there though as the weeks go on. Here is a link to some of my JUNK! I am sure you will see at least one or two things that might catch your interest. http://www.freewebs.com/yesterdaystreasures/index.htm < Message edited by L C -- 3/30/2007 7:47:41 PM > (in reply to HunterGatherer) Post #: 20
