Can anyone please help identify these two bottles recently unearthed in Groton MA? I've searched the internet but only came up with the manufacturer information for the clear bottle using the stamps on the base.
The Manufacturers or "Makers Mark" (MM), in the upper center of the base, shows a capital "I" inside an oval indicating they're from the Owens of Illinois Glass Company.
On their bottles the number to the left of the "MM" indicates where a bottle was produced. My bottle has a "2" telling me it was made in Huntington West Virginia.
The number to the right of the "MM" is the Date Code (DC). On many Owens of Illinois bottles a single-digit "DC" indicates the bottle was made in the 1930's or early 1940's. Most bottles from the late 1940's and later have two digit date codes, although single digit date codes were sometimes used in later decades without a period to the right of the code. The Huntington West Virginia bottle has a"DC" of "0" telling me that it was made in either 1930 or 1940.
The hunt for information on the brow bottle has just begun.
