    St. Petersburg Straight Side Coca-Cola

    There have been a couple that sold on Fleabay lately. Usually bring about $50 in average dug condition. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Straight-Sided-Oval-Slug-St-Petersburg-Coca-Cola-Bottling-Co-Bottle-Scarce/332710849835?hash=item4d771cad2b:g:8EkAAOSwYUdbPppZ...

    Can someone identify this?

    I assumed that's what it was, but you are the first to confirm it. Thanks!

    Todays Privy Dig. KILLER FIND OF UNKNOWN BOTTLE. OMG.

    Here is a pic of one similar to the Key West bottle with the Matthews top. I think it's different from but similar to your blob neck bottle. Here is the patent for this bottle.

    Todays Privy Dig. KILLER FIND OF UNKNOWN BOTTLE. OMG.

    That neck bulge is similar to a D. T. Sweeny bottle from Key West, FL that is embossed on the bottom "Made By / John Matthews N.Y. / Pat / June 11 / 1872." I was trying to find a pic of one to show you but am unable to.

    2 hutches and slug plates

    Late Summer Dig & Greer's Pharmacy

    While there is a Florida Druggists bottle book, few people have ever seen it, and it will never be published again because the purchaser of the copyright wants to keep the existence of some of the bottles a secret.There is also a book of pre-1920 druggists that was compiled and written in the...

    Leadville Colorado Mining Bottles

    I would have guessed aqua regia, a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. Edit: Ignore this... I was thinking assaying for some reason, and not smelting. [8|]

    Pepsi "Test Bottle"

    I would guess a production bottle from outside the US. Perhaps England?

    Large collection of antique bottles dug up in my backyard!!

    That's a great haul to find in your yard. I think most of them are too new to be really collectible, though. Dig deeper and see if there is older stuff further down! Keep us informed of whatever else you find.

    Post-Prohibition Whiskeys

    Well, I passed the information of the interested party on to the broker, who in turn said she would pass it to the owner.By providing a possible buyer it assures that the broker will call me more often when bottles come available. If they are not what I or my neighbor collect, I will continue to...
