Several bottles found in my yard =] - 6/21/2010 10:51:14 PM    ameh78   Posts: 4 Joined: 6/20/2010 Status: offline I found all of these bottles in my yard - I am finding my yard to be a strange place.. there is what seems to be a foot of ash and burned up stuff and the bottles are either on top of that layer or below it. The layer of burned up stuff -which inlcued a ton of old cans and melted metal items is about a foot down from the grass level.. I am a total newbie at this - so pardon my excitement over what may be silly stuff to you all =] Any info would be appreciated. I dont care about value - just age! I want to display these in my home and would love to know a little history on them. So let me get a posting here and stop waisting you good folks time =] Im told this *could* be an older style whiskey bottle - but the top looks like something a bottle cap would go to? top bottom only markings that can be found and old bottle that looks like a milk bottle.. Now.. is that a P or PE? rest bottom - ive found this is the Owens mark - seems to be an older style of mark a tiny tiny bottle appears to be a 9, 6 or g on the bottom And my fav... bottom < Message edited by ameh78 -- 6/21/2010 10:54:05 PM > Post #: 1

I don't know much about the first couple except the amber bottle is a beer, but the last bottle pictured with the McC & Co. Iron Glue on the bottle is a McCormick & Co Iron Glue bottle from Baltimore, Md.   _____________________________ Looking to purchase any bottles from Ellicott City, Maryland that I don't have!! Also milks from these following MD towns:Woodlawn, Catonsville, Elkridge. (in reply to ameh78) Post #: 2

They all bought the same bottle from the bottling works and put their own label on it. Premier was an instant coffee. The third smaller bottle was probably an insulin bottle or some type of animal vaccination bottle. It would have had a rubber stopper to insert the needle through.The last one I would guess is glue? Never heard of Iron Glue so it may have been a specialty glue or type of epoxy, maybe? Feel free to question the heck out of us. We're here to help and be helped. Swiz (in reply to waskey) Post #: 3

I hope to find more items =] My house was built in the 1920s. Two yards over from my house house is an old brick stable that ive been told has been there for a lot longer than my house has been here. Possible could be stuff from that i guess, hehe (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 4
