my new treasures - 1/15/2007 1:50:08 PM    jessicaw   Posts: 19 Joined: 1/15/2007 Status: offline My husband and I just bought some property and it has three separate dump sites.  Well, at least I've found bottles in three different areas.  I am very excited about the new hobby! I've tried researching a lot of what I've found and that's how I found y'all.  I know most of my "treasures" are very common and around 50-60 years old.  I just wanted to share them with some people who won't think they are just a bunch of old bottles.  I would really like to know what came in the little white bottle with the scalloped trim.  Also, any books you can recommend that will help me identify these more common items. Thank you! Attachment (1) Post #: 1

The little milkglass container had some type of beauty aid in it like cold cream. The Squibb bittles come in clear, cobalt, green and amber and in 4 or 5 sizes. Not much value per bottle but IU sold a set of all 4 colors in 4 sizes for 60 bucks to a druggist and they make a great display a great display. If you could post a pic of the Hinds and The Dr pepper it would help to date you dumps a little better. Some times older stuff is underneath. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to woody) Post #: 4

RE: my new treasures - 1/15/2007 4:22:48 PM    jessicaw   Posts: 19 Joined: 1/15/2007 Status: offline Thanks!  I just got back and was happy to see your response.  I just found a little Pond's with a tin lid and a medicine bottle with 666 on the black lid.  Everything from this new spot seems pretty new.  The Dr. Pepper bottle is one of the 10-2-4 bottle's from around the 50's.  The Squibb bottles are both clear and the same size.  Almost everything is clear, white, or amber.  I've found 3 blue (I believe) Vick's jars.  Here is a picture of the Hind's Honey and Almond Cream.

I'll send my collection soon.  I think it's awesome! Here's one more in the mean time. Attachment (1) (in reply to bottlenutboy) Post #: 12

RE: my new treasures - 1/15/2007 6:53:32 PM    capsoda Posts: 7703 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Well now, a W.B. Caldwell's makes you a bonified bottle digger. That is the kind of bottle that has fallen many a sturdy soul via the bottle disease. It is very common but many long time diggers/collectors have one including myself. The Cal-So-Dent is tooth polish. By the looks of your finds you are possibly in a turn of the century (TOC) to early 1930s dump. There may be some late throw aways in there too or some older stuff under the stuff you are finding. Welcome to the ranks of those who fallen to the disease. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to jessicaw) Post #: 13

RE: my new treasures - 1/15/2007 11:56:32 PM    logueb   Posts: 1382 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Welcome Jessica.  I am new to the forum also; however I have been collecting bottles for over 40 years.  Ran across a pile of bottles and jugs on my Grandmother's land while hunting. I must have looked a sight trying to lug all that I could home. Every pocket and hunting pouch packed with bottles. The Bottle Bug Bit. Yes , I have most of the bottles in your pics. in my collection.  Give em a good cleaning and find a good spot to display them. The WB Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin appears to be a machine made bottle.  Check to see if the mold seam on the side goes all the way to the top. Your sites appear to be from the 1920's thru as late as the 1950's. These are a part of History.  As you study bottles you learn history, and if you love history you will love bottle collecting.  Good Luck!!! _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

Three per pack.  The brand he sold came in plastic containers and each were aluminum foil wrapped. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.
