    Unknown Soda

    Looks like an ACL Canada Dry bottle to me.

    Bucket lister acquired !

    Those are so cool! I don't think I've seen a cathedral inkwell before, and definitely haven't seen that embossed stoneware teakettle before either. I had no idea that anything like that existed.

    Deep teal bottle

    Bubbles in glass aren't really a reliable way of telling age with this sort of thing. Modern glassmaking can almost entirely eliminate bubbles, but only if care is taken to avoid them, and there's no reason to do that with decorative glass since bubbles are aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes...

    Dr. Craigs Questions

    I'm sorry to hear about your dad! Good thinking for you to put it in the safe as a kid, that will likely have preserved the label a lot better than would have happened otherwise. That bottle is a real prize.

    Hello everyone!

    Welcome to the forum!

    Deep teal bottle

    I'm afraid it's a modern bottle, the kind that they sell at chain stores for decor. It's machine-made, not mouth-blown (the seam on top of the lip means it was made in an automatic bottle machine), and it never held anything.

    Dr. Craigs Questions

    Yours has a good chance of being the only one in existence, assuming you didn't buy it from someone who had just discovered a whole case of them. Even a labeled Warner's won't be a common find. Sounds like you've got a great find on your hands!

    Info such as year or manufactute

    Wow, you've got some INCREDIBLE bottles! I didn't realize how special at least one of them is until I looked more closely at it, that one on the right is (I think) an Old Monongahela Rye Whiskey bottle, sealed bottles of that era from the US are not the sort of thing you come across very often...

    Bayer Aspirin bottle or something else?

    Welcome to the forum! I don't recognize the logo. The top looks like it was meant to have some sort of specialized closure. That isn't a pontil scar, it's a suction scar from an early 20th century automatic bottle machine. Not much to go on without a name on it, but maybe someone will...

    I have an old soda bottle with a rounded bottom

    Welcome to the forum! I can't answer any of those questions without a picture of the bottle, bottles matching your description were used for almost 100 years. I suspect the answers are going to be: 1. The turn of the 20th century 2. Not very much, unfortunately, if it isn't embossed. Probably...

    Hutchinson CC bottles?

    Welcome to the forum! These aren't Hutchinson bottles, Hutchinson bottles have nothing to do with Hutchinson, Kansas. This is a Hutchinson bottle, the name refers to the inventor of the type of closure used on these: Yours are referred to as crown top sodas. They aren't really Coca Cola...

    Curious about these jars.

    They're just generic jars really. There's nothing to match them to, could have been used by anyone for any sort of food product. No way to know the glass factory either without some sort of maker's mark.

    Little bit of everything

    Shame that the Myers bottle is broken, but it suggests you're onto a good spot there!

    Rare Utah can added to my collection!

    I didn't notice that, that's very interesting! I've never seen that either, looks like it'd be expensive to produce a label like that.

    Looking for info; embossed BUBBLES; no other markings.

    Oh yeah then it's very likely that both are from the same company. Does it have anything on the base? What does the other Bubbles bottle look like?

    Rare Utah can added to my collection!

    Wow, that's very cool! Not easy to find cans in that good shape from that era regardless of what they are, especially oil cans.

    Virginia bottle dump

    That Warranted Flask is quite a lot older than the others, probably 1890s-1910s-ish. It's a sign that there's likely some older stuff buried underneath!

    Looking for info; embossed BUBBLES; no other markings.

    Hmm, not much to go on with this one. It's not exactly the sort of name you can Google. Where did you find it? It was likely a local product to that area.

    looking to for an answer

    You should show the full embossing of the beer bottles as well. Some of those could be good ones. The ones without any embossing are probably nothing too special and can be used for crafting without worry. Not sure if that Sealfast jar is of particular collectors' interest or not, I'm not...

    Beginner Question - Price Guide?

    This is the sort of thing that really only comes through experience. Like you say, just too many bottles out there to ever compile a guide, and the prices fluctuate wildly at auctions. A $50 bottle on Wednesday might be a $200 bottle on Friday, just depending on who happens to be looking at...
