    Thrift shop find - Tarpon Springs, FL

    Look at page 5 bottom of middle column seems to describe your mark with the A / W T CO/ etc. including the less common CO capital O. If so, makes yours around 1888, but who knows. Safe to assume late 1800s through 1901 or so.

    Jim Eifler (aka Epackage) obituary

    He helped a neighbor of mine locate some Paterson milks from his family dairy. Never met him, but was always helpful. Rest in peace.

    Another Amber 7up Question

    I was on page 4 of this thread before I realized it was 7 yrs old. The interest and intrigue were great. Just for giggles I checked some bottles I have, lots of AB co bottles with the yy s or yy n code. Lo and behold a 7 oz amber slick with 28 S 5 on the heel. Very similar to the one in...

    Info on cased glass bottle.

    Found this little beauty in a swampy area of my local dump that had dried out. Sitting right on the mud. I’m told it’s cased glass. Has a milk glass inside with a light blue outer case. No seams or markings of any kind. Likely a perfume bottle. I’m thinking 30s-40s. Anybody have info on this...

    Need help identifying a beautiful bottle

    Agree not a liquor bottle at all, finish is all wrong. Almost like an early pharmacy bottle, Squibb, Shering? Or like others suggest a cleaning product.

    Unidentifiable 6 1/2 oz. bottle

    27N is date code for American bottle Co, the bottle mfg. N is for Newark Ohio plant. Looks like a soda to me but strange there’s no space for a label or any embossing

    welp, I just had literally the most successful day in bottle hunting I've ever had.

    Great finds and story. Wish I would happen upon something like that. The hires is indeed about the oldest looking one of those I’ve seen. Likely late 1800’s?

    Makers Mark Identification, Please Help

    I think the & and C are & Co. theres a little mark by the C like an o. So if the rest of your detective work is accurate uncle Bruce, that’s some combo of Q,R, Y,W.

    a most curious broken green mug

    Cool mugs. Too bad yours is missing a chunk Moodof. Great info as usual. Dave- Is the material that those mugs are made of the same as the US made jadite, meaning opaque colored milk glass?!

    Appreciate Info On These Bottles

    Quite a collection of local whiskeys. My guess is the gentleman (or lady) of the house stashed them in a wall discreetly when finished with them. Our house had about 200 airplane 50ml vodkas deposited through a knot hole in the wall! Pretty good scheme actually. You should get more info, seems...

    Amber milk bottle thread

    Great thanks for posting these. Seems like a lot of similar variations. Are they associated with diff years, like they changed embossing slightly after a couple years, or could there be 5 or more diff variations with the same year code.

    Amber milk bottle thread

    Was hoping it was a bit less common, but at least I have one now. Paid $12 so like you say Hemi, not a big investment.

    New to collection

    Thank you very much. I’ve only dug two types personally, Hemingray 42 and Brookfield beehive types both on my local commuter train line. The rest have all been purchased within my spending guidelines. I’ll post the full set soon. Only about a dozen, all common I’m sure but do have a couple nice...
