2 sizes of same bottle What is it? - 5/13/2005 5:43:57 AM    RazorsEdge   Posts: 238 Joined: 5/8/2005 Status: offline I found these at 2 completely different places but they are the same bottle, only 2 diff sizes. There is an embossed pattern below the neck and at the bottom. Larger one is about 5 1/2" tall, smaller is about 4" tall. Made by owens illinois glass co. What were these used for? A side-note- Have you guys ever noticed that even a big bottle dump sites where there are 50+, you usually only find one or 2 of the same bottle. Why is this? if a family used the product and dumped all of their trash there, why isnt there a lot of each thing...For example, A masons root beer bottle....or pepsi...or shampoo...etc. We go out and buy pepsi by the 24 packs....Why is there only one of each thing at a site?

Some bottled goods either last a long time or used infrequently, such as certain medicines, extracts, special condiments, so they aren't replaced often, ergo don't end up in quantity in the family dump. (I'd hate to tell you how long I've had my own vanilla extract or A1 sauce in the cupboard, LOL) Or because of passage of time between discards, could end up in different layers in the dump or different dumps altogether. Or, they try a different brand which could come in a different container. And in between "trash or cash" is the category "I just happen to like it, I don't care what anybody else thinks!"

"One man's trash is another man's treasure". I wonder if, back in 1825, as the guy droped an open pontil honey yellow bitters bottle into the crapper he thought, "I bet somebody will get thousands of dollars for that one day"? How about this; "Cash, >STASH< or Trash". _____________________________ If I Wasn't Crazy; I'd Go Insane, GARY http://groups.yahoo.com/group/federal_law_forbids_bottles (in reply to RazorsEdge) Post #: 6
