    Rare? Forest Green Anchor hocking beer bottles.

    Okay, I am not familiar with the catalog photo, but I can honestly say I wouldn't even give this bottle a second thought. If it popped out of the ground while digging I would have thrown it back in the hole when filling it in. Definitely interesting, thanks for posting.

    Any help identifying any of these is greatly appreciated

    #7 is most certainly a Vicks Va-tro-nol nose drops bottle which came in both cobalt blue and brown.

    Need help to identify these 3 please...

    The Mystic is a Clearly Canadian product from the 1980s maybe 1990s. Searching vintage+mystic+juice+bottle should give you all the information you are looking for.

    A frosty yet rewarding dig in the "Roaring 20s" dump with a rare late-throw!

    Awesome digs. I wish I came across such cool items.

    Found buried in yard, any ideas of age and use?

    Looks very much like a vinegar bottle. The handle gives it the cruet feel. I have dug several in 1900s dumps and feel these would date from around 1930-1950.

    Insulators in use on the island of Aruba

    Thanks for the info. I was unaware of the radio static issue. I knew they coated them but assumed it was for other reasons.

    Insulators in use on the island of Aruba

    While down in Aruba, I took a look at the current wires strung along the highway and found that they use a traditional style ceramic insulator as well as a more modern version. I wish I could have gotten a hold of a couple from the power company for identification purposes. I'm sure that there...

    My wife and kids.........

    This amazingly is not the same in Alaska. I recently visited and took a couple of train rides and was shocked to see old lines with many insulators still intact. While the wire was removed, no one seemed interested in the several insulators left behind. Wish I could have stopped the train and...

    Nice bottles. Really love the skinny Borden's Eagle. I've never found one of those, just quarts.

    Old city dump

    100% a Hazel-Atlas marking. As for the other markings I'd almost venture a guess as to spelling out 'G R A P E' in an odd stylized lettering. Dating, probably no earlier than 1920s, most likely 1930s-50s

    Attic Finds

    It may not be the oldest bottle in there -- But I have a penchant for Borden's bottles and wow, Pimento Cocktail Spread is one I haven't seen before. (Maybe I should get out more)

    Hunyadi Janos mineral water

    1890s postal card from Hungary - Cool bottles though ... wish I was digging enough better items to drop these back in the hole.
