40's dump what to look for? - 9/30/2006 4:49:48 AM    Niko   Posts: 74 Joined: 7/11/2006 From: Forest Grove, Oregon Status: offline Good hello all, in the next few days i am going to be digging at a 40's 50's dump. Most of what i know about bottles has to do with bottles from the late 1800's. What should i be on the look out for in this dump? what types of bottles? Any advice or pics of stuff to look out for? Thanks, Niko Post #: 1

We had a 40s-60s dump on the property where I grew up, and it yielded several items that were much older...probably tossed when someone cleaned out the atttic/cellar/shed. Good luck, and like everyone said, show us what you find! (in reply to Niko) Post #: 4

Keep your eye out as well for old embossed whiskeys, with the "not for sale or reuse blah blah" on them. The more embossing the better, here are few examples of ones I have sold at auction. I dug those. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150053426919 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150058953139 _____________________________ A little of everything at http://www.bottlecache.com (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 6

RE: 40's dump what to look for? - 12/3/2006 7:48:07 PM    cobaltbot Posts: 1611 Joined: 4/7/2006 From: Delta, PA Status: offline This fits here and Opie’s recent thread about what to look for in 20’s – 30’s dumps.  A recent favorite dump of mine had early 40’s surface stuff, some neat metal junk, with some late throws mixed in and some 1870’s – 1880’s down deeper under foundation rocks.  All three of these were in the early forty’s trash but the two Washington’s Birthday commemoratives were made by Owens Illinois in 1932 and the Century of Progress refrigerator bottle by Owens Illinois in 1933.  These don’t go for much now but I think they are cool anyway – sleepers.  May awake in the year 2032!

RE: 40's dump what to look for? - 12/5/2006 8:59:23 PM    Cruise   Posts: 6 Joined: 12/5/2006 Status: offline Hi. This is my first post and this is the appropriate thread for it. I am quite the novice at this and it turns out I found several very old dumps it seems in the woods on some land I own. I rooted around for about 2 hours in 2 different ones and I am coming up with old bush flat top beer cans in pretty nice shape. I pulled whisky bottles out left and right. I got an old Dr Pepper bottle as well as a coke. There seems to be alot of pint bottles with various shapes and colors. Everything I found has the federal warning on it. I came across alot of embossed bottles. I will post some pictures soon in hopes To learn what I am doing. (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 13

Should be some even older stuff there too. _____________________________ My tombstone will read: He went out for a walk and never came back.... (in reply to Cruise) Post #: 14

RE: 40's dump what to look for? - 12/9/2006 6:42:09 PM    Niko   Posts: 74 Joined: 7/11/2006 From: Forest Grove, Oregon Status: offline Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of large car parts and well as appliances in the top layer making digging slow... once those get removed things should go much better. Nothing too interesting so far...Anyone heard of Snowboy orange juice? Attachment (1) (in reply to #1twin) Post #: 18
