Please help ID Orange Crush Bottle
The number to the right of the Owens-Illinois logo on the base is the date code, so it's from 1951.- Mudlani

need help
i did a quick search on newspapers dot com, and I think this is the most likely candidate if it's in your neck of the woods (from the Bernardsville News, Aug. 25, 1911). This is the only thing that came up for this company, so presumably it didn't survive very long.- Mudlani

Help with any info on these bottles
The brown one is a beer bottle made by the Mississippi Glass Co. and dates from 1878 to 1884. https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/MississippiGlass.pdf- Mudlani

Black Bear Brand
Black Bear Brand is first advertised by Meikle Bros. in 1905. Meikle Bros. was taken over by Cross & Co. in 1908. Meikle used the same type of bottle, so presumably this is from not too long after the take over.- Mudlani

First time poster - Farm Dump finds - Mystery bottle
Mueller is a very common German name, and they dominated the beer business back then, so there were probably others as well (the 2 spellings are simply the German and the Anglicized spellings). But my info is from Pittsburgh papers on newspapers.com, so I'm referring to your Mueller, not the...- Mudlani

F & S Ltd, StH beer bottle
Yup. When I come across wonky looking/sloppily made old bottles, I imagine they were made by disgruntled workers.- Mudlani

F & S Ltd, StH beer bottle
I found this bottle in Vancouver a couple of months ago, and wasn't able to identify it online until today. Toulouse ("Bottle Makers and their Marks") mentions the base embossing and that the StH referred to St Helens in the UK, but was unable to identify the manufacturer. I contacted Stephen...- Mudlani

Aqua bottle, crown finish, kick up base
Here's another anomaly I found in the same spot. A crown finish bottle (late teens-1920s) with a cork pushed inside. I thought the main purpose of a crown finish was for it to be capped. I suppose it could have been corked by the consumer?- Mudlani

Aqua bottle, crown finish, kick up base
Not sure if this is pre- or post-1900, as I can only date it from 1892-1920 based on the aqua colour & crown finish. It's mouth blown and about the size of a beer bottle, just under 10", but has a kick up base. The only embossing on it is "11-S" on the heel. I'm trying to get an idea of what was...- Mudlani

Mitsuya Cider
They have some nice bottles, but yeah, I thought some of their descriptions were suspect. A friend showed me a photo from the Egmont Museum, and there was one there too. Apparently they have a 10k collection of bottles from BC.- Mudlani

Mitsuya Cider
I found a match and info on the sha.org/bottle site. The one they reference came from an archaeological dig at a Chinese labour camp at a cannery in British Columbia. The only other one I found was on the Museum of Vancouver. They also have this similar one that they label "Brewery Regs. Ltd...- Mudlani

Mitsuya Cider
Mitsuya Cider bottle. Japanese, turn mold, 1911-1930s. This was the most popular soft drink in Japan (apparently it tastes something like Sprite + Ginger Ale), and is still going. Apparently these are as likely to be found in Chinese as Japanese immigrant sites. I found this in Stanley Park in...- Mudlani
