    Info on cased glass bottle.

    Found this little beauty in a swampy area of my local dump that had dried out. Sitting right on the mud. I’m told it’s cased glass. Has a milk glass inside with a light blue outer case. No seams or markings of any kind. Likely a perfume bottle. I’m thinking 30s-40s. Anybody have info on this...

    New to collection

    Can experts confirm these insulator varieties for me please. Picked these up for 2$ and 3$ in NE Penn this week. My rule of thumb is if it’s a type or color I don’t have and is $5 or less, I go for it. First is a Brookfield with an inverse 1 on crown. I think it’s a CD 102. Next is a white...

    Local early crown top?

    Haven’t posted much lately. Cold weather and only mildly interesting 1900s stuff I have found. Yesterday found this Frank Linke 10oz beer bottle in the woods as if it was dropped there last week. I’ve seen blob top versions of this online, but not a crown top. My question is on the lip and...

    Dr. Pierce’s.

    I got this very clean Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery yesterday for $5. I know these are not uncommon but the condition was great. Also my son just started med school at NYU and I was looking for a nice quack medicine bottle for him to display in his room. Question: what is approx date on...

    Orange crush

    A friend of mine dug this green crush bottle. Don’t see any similar ones online with the crackle all over and the swirl area at the top. I know the orange crush experts are on here including the gentleman who write an OC book. Any info for me on this one?

    Info please

    Bought this aqua bottle today along with two little amber meds for $4 total. Anyone have info on this one. I’m assuming this is a blob top?? Abraham Klinkowstein wines & liquors. Bottom says Boley Mfg co NY. Can’t find anything on it. Lots of bubbles and swirls, and unfortunately a lot of small...

    Finds today.

    Haven’t been digging much. I’ve been busy opening up our shore house and my 1900s dump a)seems tapped out and b)getting overrun with weeds now and people, since it’s a park. So went today with low expectations but found a few interesting bottles. A nice local TREP milk in great condition, a 28...

    My display ”case”.

    Going to build a more permanent shelving/case at some point but for now a nice sunny front bay window does just fine. The wife actually likes the display or is at least tolerating it. Nothing fancy, no blob tops or hutches, but nearly all dug by me, a couple TOC type bottles like the SCA...

    Unmarked poison?

    Too frozen to dig in NJ, so I walked an abandoned commuter rail line. Found a Kruegers embossed beer 1950s, and a couple ACLs that I’ll try to leave alone for a few weeks until they dry out and acclimate. I like the chug a mug bottle. What about this blue bottle. Looks more like a bud lite than...

One has the top mostly intact and two metal tubes inserted, plus a 3rd empty hole on top. Baby bottle, don’t think so, embalming bottle, we saw that a few...

    Found my first Pepsi Steelman patent bottle yesterday and today bought 5 ACLs for literally a couple bucks each. Includes 2 of the same Steelman patent Pepsi bottles, one from Brockway glass, one Thatcher, and 3-7 oz sodas from Greenbrook NJ bottling. Looking for info on these GB bottles, the...

    Mid-century Sodas and some shout outs

    Okay, been on this site about 3 months and have learned a great deal from this group. Want to give a shout out to 3 in particular; UncleBruce, for his understanding that it's the friends you make, the thrill of the hunt and the intrinsic value in your finds (not $$) which matter; SodaBob for his...

    Champagne split and blob top.

    Found this dark green champagne or wine split yesterday on a coastal marsh nearby here in Jersey. No seams and very large kick up, plus an interesting lip. Also incredibly scratched. Based on prior posts here and google, would seem to be a late 1800/toc bottle. Any other insights? It’s a nice...

    Hires “medals and medallions”

    Can’t find too much on this one. A couple eBay examples and a reference to the medals and medallions advertising campaign apparently from the 20’s in the hiresbook.com. Has no mark or maybe a very faint one on base. Nice embossed medals below shoulder. At bottom has Hires/registered on one side...

    Two nice finds.

    Found a few bottles Sunday including two which are among the oldest and nicest yet. Got an old boar’s head mark Gordon’s gin bottle with a number 7 below the crazy looking boars head. Has London and England embossed on sides. This must be early 1900s I’m guessing. Couple dings and a hairline...

    Pre prohibition liquor bottles.

    As mentioned don’t think this site was active pre-1900. Have found several what I think are old pre prohibition liquor bottles. 2 are Charles Boldt I think with 2 serif B, so from 1900-1919 think. Lots of bubbles and imperfections. Not very ornate at all but... Questions. What are the large...

    2nd round of finds complete, and some questions.

    Lots of bottles over two weeks of occasional looking. Don’ think any are pre-1900 nor worth much, some are pretty nice looking though. Posting overall snap shot and some groups with specific questions. First up, Mason jars and aqua. Couple ball jars, an atlas and others. Can’t find anything on...
