2 new bottles - 5/5/2008 7:14:04 PM    bottle man   Posts: 36 Joined: 9/19/2004 Status: offline These are my most recent finds. I am in construction and found these two bottles in the wall of a 1860s house in connecticut. One bottle reads Tweedles celebrated soda or mineral waters and the other side reads courtland street 38 new york . The other bottle reads S. Smith Auburn NY 1857. Both bottles are dead mint, not even a scratch. Lucky find. Any info on value would be most helpful. Hope you enjoy the pics. Thanks Attachment (1) Post #: 1
