Ok here we go.
#1 I don't know, don't care, too new for me but people are starting to collect them. Post it in the soda category for more help on that one.

..... well, ACL 70s cokes is what got me started, so I have a thing for sodas, this ones a keeper, but to each his own :)

#2 The clear one on the left looks new but may be older then it appears. I have a figural bottle with a woman standing on her head that has the same exact neck and I think it dates to the 1930's. The other one is a common whiskey with mystery contents. Feed some too your neighbors dog. If he looks like he's having fun then try a shot. J/K

.. was thinking that was newer / designer booze bottle, but if it might be old, how do I tell ?

..... the whiskey is odd, would likew to open it and see, lol - as posted elsewhere, contents might be better n the bottle ;)

#3 That definitely looks like a wine decanter and a rather cool looking one as well. I think you did good on that one.

.. this one is neat, wish I knew the age or more info, going to hang onto it for now, but if anyone needs it, lol

#4 is a new one. I usually see those in the dollar store and usually for a buck.

.... gonna believe you and just put it in my nic nac window . looks real crude to me, btu maybe made that way top look old.

#5 Certo, used in making Jelly, very common.

.... this modern ? or 1920s ? going to sale it as window bottle, couple bucks. ( I sell nic nacs out of a side window at my furniture upholstery shop, so trying a few bottles just to test the waters ) .


#6 The Parlor City Bottle is a cool one. I don't know any more about that one.

... definate local keeper, assuming a soda, since a beer would be amber ? or is that untrue ?

#7 & #8 A really cool old med. Its a shame more of these weren't embossed. They still look good in a window and I use these ones to paint.

... I love that one, esp with the stretch marks - going to have to look at the others I got last month, for the whittle marks, still learning on that ( helps to see it in my hand instead of a pic ) .
this one a keeper to me, even if worthless, good display bottle.

#9 Check that one out a little more. That looks like a sample size and is probably uncommon. I would guess that that is the gem of everything that you have there. The size of the bottle may have limited the amount of wording possible. I believe the guys name is Frank Warner. I'll gladly give you a dollar for that one and I'll even pay for the shipping. lol

... I htink this is newer ABM, the ones I saw on ebay were bringing like 6-7 bucks, did finally find a red one, amongst the green, so less common but likely a novelty or such .
any more info appreciated.

#10 Fill it with colored sand and sell it for a buck.

... might try that :) . I figured, being screw top it was worthless $-wise, but thought maybe someone could tell brand or age by the shape.
I do have a bunch of slicks and such I might box up some weekend and try the local flea market, at a buck apiece and see if I can get my investment back :)


#11 & #12 Is that a crown or a blob? The embossed beaver bottles that I find around here are usually early crowns. That is a Canada Dry bottle. Me and a few others assumed it was a water bottle but now we know better. I've never found one with the stopper in it though. It would have been great if the beaver was embossed on the side and a bit bigger.

..... that's a crown, but real thin 'lip' ( ie: the diameter of the roll / lip ), I;d say super early (abm as I recall, I'm at work, bottle is home ).
the stopper is small rubber seal, as shown, not the big white stopper I'm familiar with . will get pics if it helps.
thanks for the info, cools to know.

#13 A cork, perfume is always a keeper.

... thaks to wangan for the link , keeper now if I know the history, will add to my growing shelf collection ( only small bottles fit, so no sodas up over the kitchen cabinets, will fill it up and post a pic when I get enough to fill the space :)
