Seems to me perhaps the market is in a holding pattern right now. There was a boom in antiques 5-10 years ago as baby boomer's parents passed on or...

Oh, that's a nice one. Thanks, Michael. :) Chlorate Potash Tablets, it appears to say. I imagine these bottle could have held almost anything,...

Wow, how time flies. I didn't realize it had been over a month since I posted in this thread. I have been back there a few times since I last...

Wow, there are sure a lot of those pharmacy bottles in that place. Great finds.

Yeah, I used to use Scotch Brite on almost all of my bottles before I realized it could scratch. It took me a while to notice the scratches, because...

I'd like to see any other examples of this bottle, as I can't find any online. This may be helpful for others who come across this thread, as well. :)

Thanks guys. Yes, after some research it definitely appears to be Whitall Tatum and 1901-1924. Apparently, before 1901 they used an ampersand...

Is that the same place you were digging before? Either way, pretty nice finds.

I suspected it might be European... I know that certain bottles over there were made with the older techniques later than in NA, which might account...

Any guesses on the age? Not much I can add. The glass has an uneven texture and there are no mold seams visible. The base is marked only with the...

Real nice haul, and great job finding it.

I dug one of those lids yesterday... wondered what it came from.<br>

I dug up a Jewel lid the other day. It is clear glass (ignore the yellowish hue in the picture). I don't know which size jar it goes with. It...

Nov 18: Was exploring in the same general area, about 0.5 km from the last dump. Followed a stream into a grove of cedar trees where I found several...

My guess would be 1930's-40's, as well. A picture of the base would be helpful. In what area did you find it? I find a lot of gin bottles...

Okay, thanks for the info. I will definitely go back there and look around some more, since I was thinking about going back anyway.

I mainly consider them code for "disappointment"... because that's generally what I feel when I find a bottle with them. If nothing else it's an easy...

I'd heard of The Lions before, but this was the first time I'd seen an example in the wild. In fact, I've never seen that particular bottle anywhere...

Sorry, I meant month code. The combination of vertical and horizontal lines was used as a month code until 1969... according the the SHA site. But...

Looking at the base of bottle again, I see the following symbol to the left of the diamond: |_| Dominion used a combination of lines as date codes...

Yeah, you're right. I don't see any metric on there, but maybe the OP can confirm that.

That would be 1969... the diamond "D" logo was out of use by 1979, and this bottle also pre-dates the metric system in Canada, which was introduced...
