PARK If you have a park in your back yard, you probably have a dump there too.  Good luck, looks like fun. _____________________________ A pipe gives a wise man time to think, and gives a fool something to stick in his mouth.

RE: Need help identifying this - 7/14/2007 12:55:58 AM    L C   Posts: 1558 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Dug this bottle in Cincinnati in the 70s. Bottle is  around six , six and a half inches tall. Yes Folks, another sorry picture. You can see the bottom though, and the rest of the bottle looks pretty much the same, only no white. It is a dark amber,light does not reflect through it. I believe it is a beer bottle, regretfully, there is no embossing other than the H. G. Co. on the bottom. Is this bottle a beer or something else ?? Attachment (1) (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 22

It is HGCO as you suspected.  Thanks again for your expert response.  The previous residents obviously liked their beer.  I have found many of these "Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. Cinti. O." bottles, which I understand are quite common. Attachment (1) (in reply to appliedlips) Post #: 23

RE: Need help identifying this - 7/15/2007 5:22:18 PM    Jim1870 Posts: 245 Joined: 7/7/2007 Status: offline Wow.  I'm surprised, LC.  I thought they were kind of common since I found so many - only four that are totally intact.  Here is another that I dug today that looks interesting.  Is it old?

RE: Need help identifying this - 7/15/2007 6:53:18 PM    L C   Posts: 1558 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: offline Hello Jim,this bottle looks interesting, I see you are still being  blessed by the bottle Gods. I can not imagine being able to go out into ones own back yard and be able to dig this era of bottles. When I win my millions, I am going to buy up a lot of houses in certain parts of Cincinnati ! I can not read the name or where it is from, my eyesight is not the best. I like any bottle with graphics on it though, one of my weaknesses ! My guess as to age is late 1880s to 1900. I can not say for sure that is correct. As for the blob top Morleins, I never did find one of that variety in any of the digging I did in Cincinnati years ago, of course that doesn't mean they are rare. Regretfully, I did not get into but a few dumps here and there when I dug there. That is a Brewery of Cincy, so it would seem there should be plenty of them around, whether or not I found any or not. Now that you are hooked on this great hobby, as time goes on, I am sure you will eventually find other collectors and diggers in the Cincinnati area, and they will be able to give you better input on that particular bottle. Stay with that dump, as well as find the privy or privies ! Best of luck, Lou < Message edited by L C -- 7/15/2007 6:54:58 PM > (in reply to Jim1870) Post #: 32

"Sannitol" on one side, "For the Teeth" on the other.  I have dug six intact and another 4 or five broken, so they must be pretty common. (in reply to #1twin) Post #: 36
