Picked this almost full Pepsi up at an estate sale recently. I know that "N" in a square is Obear-Nester Glass Co. but can anyone give me a date? couldn't find anything at the usual bottlemarks sites.
I'm thinking this 12" pickle bottle is 1890s judging by all the bubbles and imperfections. Agree? What else can you tell me about it? This is my first pickle.
This is not a bottle, but a conetop can I bought in an auction boxlot. Many conetop soda/beer cans were "converted" to sprinkling cans by women for ironing and watering plants etc back in the 40s-50s. This one has heavy white (now yellowed) paint on it.
My question is: Can this paint be safely...
I had an unfortunate accident and broke this 1940 Chicago beer bottle. I would like to salvage the label from it. Anyone know how to successfully save the label or should I just cry, throw it away and move on? It's glued on pretty good. Thanks!
After seeing Catcat16's thread about her inkwell, it reminded me of this crude blue hunk of glass I dug years ago. Can anyone tell me what this is? It's about 1.5" tall and same across and says "nuline, n.j." on the bottom. Very crude. Looks 1900 era or older.
Someone on another forum dug this slender bottle and is trying to identify what it contained and approximate age. I am curious also which is why I'm posting here. I have never seen one. Seam does not go all the way up and it looks like the bottom says "c.c. co." or "cl co." Anyone?

Got this nice 1950s RC bottle thermometer at an antique auction this past weekend, which has been on my bucket list for many a year. Shown with an actual bottle for comparison.

Found this Coke cardboard topper sign (measures 22" X 10.5") while at an antique fair in Allegan Michigan Sunday. Paid $10. Anyone ever see one of these before?
Got this 2 1/4" creamer, nothing on bottom, in an auction lot. I see a handful for sale online but NOBODY seems to know WHERE this dairy was. I found a currently operating dairy with this name in California and another in Pennsylvania but I think this bottle predates both. I posted this here so...
Does anyone have one of those aqua Bartlett's (shoe) Dressing bottles with the "Place Sponge Here" sections in the neck that they could post?
I dug one years ago but traded it away.
Thanks!

Found these double-dot Pepsi bottles last Saturday at a local thrift shop. All dated between 1945-1948. The best thing: they were $2.00 each. I may go back and get more.
Just saw this in a religious resale store along with about 30 Chicago Hutch bottles. They thought it was a repro so they priced it at $3. I thought "man, that looks awfully real to me" so I picked it up. It's 8.5" tall and a Qt.size in aqua.
What say yall? (Sorry for the double post - Still...

Someone on another forum posted this "Pittsburgh" flask they found and I wanted to see if anyone here knows what this is and whether it's old or a repro. Other side says "The American System". It has an "A" on the bottom. Thanks.
Someone on another forum I'm on has been trying to identify who this brewer was. It looks like the Anheuser-Bush eagle but with a big "U". We are all guessed-out on this quart blobtop. Anyone?
Not that this bottle is anything a collector would even begin to want, but, don't these "blind-as-a-bat" sellers get your goat? See the description then see the condition of the bottle...
