It has a red wire wrapped onto it--seems to new, the wire, to be original, though. It seems pretty old, and as far as I spy it has no markings.

The latest bottles I identified had the number 70 on the bottom (two of them.) The earliest, a 1 or 4 or 61. Date codes?

I think it is no longer worth returning to for me, till the bugs settle down some (die or go sleep for the Season.) Today I found a wonderful orange ACL Sanitary Dairy bottle with a cow on one side and if I recall a cup of coffee on the other, which I excitedly picked up--only to suddenly find it exploding in my paws! That was not fun. [:(] I had apparently been sitting on an ACL Coca-Cola, just barely beneath the surface, which I dug just as I was about to retreat from the insects. The ACL is all but there. I brought out a few amber medicine bottles--plain; you guys call them "slicks"?-- and a root beer bottle (clear, 1960s, embossed) along with a fruit juice bottle from I think it was Nestle--these will likely sell at the next yard sale. A bottle called Troutman's, a motorcycle taillight with "DORAY" embossed on it, and a few ''smalls'' to complete it. I dug numerous broken bottles--anything intact was not of interest unless you can get money for recycling glass here-- and a very old, very far gone, stapler--in a dumpster today I brought out an old stapler of the same design that I think will work, though!-- and a dime from 1952 in rough shape. There was an embossed flask-style bottle with original cap I dug up, though.

The beer to the far right is an ACL called Red Stripe, but is very modern and I pulled out with the good-condition stapler. The one photographed here was called SCOUT.

The Red Stripe Jamaican beer is worth a few hundred $$ in a flat top Beer Can. Very little in bottle. LEON.

Well,[:D] the bottle's awfully modern so... no value. I'll look into the bottom of the place more, see if I can't find a can to go with it. Thanks, Leon. [:)]

Well, here we go again--hah hah!
Today: Sanitary Dairy late 1950s Cottage Cheese bottle--which my mom loves-- and a Drewery's can with a person on it. A small glass bottle--looks like a lip-balm, but I dunno. :/ Today, I also brought back from an yard-sale this gorgeous bottle: The Wacker & Birk Brewing Co. bottle (click here.)
Yesterday, from a different location: STREATOR PAVER and SAGINAW bricks, 2 Carling's cans from 1949 (wrecked!) and also down by the lake a 1960s Sprite ACL which I neglected to photograph.

Drewery's can and the little odd one which I'm unsure of still--can someone put a date on the can? There looks to be a man on the can.
