So i managed to dig this bottle up in one piece and it looks amazing. I pulled it out of the ground and was really surprised at what popped out, and it even has the original cork still in it. I have no idea about the age or price of this bottle and it looks to be handblown i think. I put a plastic coke bottle next to it for scale.

Looks like the decantors that you can buy at Crate& Barrel or Pier One Or home goods etc etc. What was the context of where you dug it up??? Dump, Privy, farm, city, along rr tracks, what???

I dug it up near an old abandoned farm house. It was about a foot deep in the ground from what seemed like the place that the family threw away all their trash. The farm house is over 100 years old.

Dig for more. Maybe find a easier to Identify bottle. Let me know if you find any rusty old Beer cans, I collect those. Good Luck. LEON.

I have actually found a lot of other interesting bottles. I've found about 7 Otto's Milk jugs and a few other different brand milk jugs i can't remember. I managed to find two rare pepsi-cola bottles in really good condition also from around the 1940s

Hemi is correct, go for it dig for more, you might just come up with a very good bottle or two or three, you just never know. The farm should be older than 125 yrs to produce really good glass, although you can get some good sodas after 1900.......Andy

Good chance the older better stuff is deeper on this type of dump. Post Pics of the Pepsi bottles. LEON.

The bottle on the right i haven't officially cleaned it out yet, but hopefully you should be able to identify the bottles.

The Pepsi on the left they made from the 1940's-50's & the one on right from the 60's. The one on right missing most of it's painted label unfortunately. LEON.
