Concerning the discussion of Corktop Listerines - 8/3/2005 10:10:43 PM    Yooper14 Posts: 313 Joined: 4/25/2005 From: Ohio Status: offline Hey all, I know this isn't exaclty about finds, but jme_jett's post called "my sat dig" got around to discussing Listerine bottles. I find these things by the boxful in my dump (it's a school dump...guess the guys wanted to impress the ladies?), so I just wanted to post a picture of the progression of sizes I've found. anyone else found these sizes? The biggest one is 7", the smallest is 2 1/8." Actually, the smallest one I don't think is a Listerine...it's the same shape, but not embossed. Attachment (1) Post #: 1

Theyre common bottles but really cool. < Message edited by TheDiggerBoy91 -- 8/3/2005 10:18:06 PM > (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 2

The one is just a nice clear, and the other is a weird light lemon yellow color... nice and has a few bubbles in the glass too! (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 3

It was the light lemon color. Found it in Northern Minnesota. I was about 11 years old, hiking in the woods with the Boy Scout troop. I put it in my pocket for safe keeping. Then, I tripped, fell and broke the bottle! So-I don't have the bottle anymore but still have the scar on my leg from it! I've never came across another one that color. But I do have several of the clear ones. (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 4

It was in a weedy bay in front of a site where there used to be an old hotel. Same place I've found an inkwell & misc. medicine & wine bottles from approx 1900. It cleaned up so well with bleach, it looks like it was made yesterday. Must've been good quality glass. (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 5

I think they are cool, but are never going to of value in our lifetime. Another cool common is the small Lysol corktops. We have different variants of this bottle too. I will get TexasDave to post a pic. (in reply to Yooper14) Post #: 7
