Bottle Dump finds

I found a great bottle dump while walking in the woods. Most of these are from the 50s and 60s looking at what else was in the pile and some researching. Some may be a little earlier. First trip. I don't have photos of all of them. Also found a few other bottles including 2 Coca Cola and a...

Elite Ammonia

That's really interesting to know about companies stealing other bottles and reusing them. Although you'd think they would be smart to use ones that didn't have the company name embossed over most of the bottle! Thanks for everyone's help. What I thought was a neat bottle to begin with...

Elite Ammonia

a seller in ME on ebay has a Cushing Medical Supply bottle for sale but looks older than the one I have. I wish I could pin point an age for this bottle. And then the labeling. I'm glad I grabbed it for $2!

Elite Ammonia

You guys are awesome. It does look like it says Cushing Medical Supply Co Guaranteed Full Quart. Interesting that the label is over the embossing on the bottle. I'm new to bottle collecting and this stuff fascinates me.

Help IDing some bottles...

I found out that the logo on the bottom of the small clear glass and the two brown bottles is from the Owens Illinois Glass company. I'm guessing the rest of these bottles are probably 1950s. I wish I knew what was once in them!

Elite Ammonia

I"ve been trying to read what it says without much luck. I just did a graphite rubbing and took a closer pic.

Elite Ammonia

I'm guessing this bottle is from before 1900 but I haven't found any information online about it. It has no seams at all, a cork stopper and the Elite Ammonia label and was bottled for Hope Valley RI. I got it for $2 at an antique shop. Any clues as to the age?

Several old glass soda bottles

Thank you all so much for your help with the dates. I have 2 of the Almacs bottles. The other coke bottle says Almacs on the other side as well. Those I was guessing were from the late 80s or 90s. Almacs was a RI based grocery store chain that had around 40 stores at closing in the late 90s...

Several old glass soda bottles

I bought a bunch of neat glass soda bottles from the Flea Market today to decorate my home with. I've been on the internet for hours looking for more information about these bottles other than "vintage" I can't seem to find ages for them. Any help is appreciated! I'd like to know what I have...
