Washington State Beer bottle info

I recently found a stash of old beer bottles underwater near the possible site of 19th century tavern here on Whidbey Island Washington. From what I have been able to determine the bottles[attachment=R Bottle.JPG] were manufactured from 1870 to 1910. There is a "R" embossed on the bottom. I have...

Canadian Bottles

This is the bottom of a Canadian beer bottle that I found off shore of Whidbey Island WA. I have researched the company, Silver Springs Brewery of Victoria B.C. and it was in business from 1905 to 1929. My question is about the number on the bottom. I have read where the Canadian bottlers didn't...

JK&S 1536 bottle

I found this JK&S 1536 bottle underwater in an area where I have found other bottles that predate 1910. It has lots of bubbles, the top looks like it has been applied, and it's overall shape is not round making it look like the mold that was used was hand carved. Could this have been an early...

N.P.B. Co.

Thanks Jim and Eric. Sorry about the confusion on how I sent the two photos. I was able to find some info on the North Pacific Brewing Co. The company went out of business at the start of Prohibition. This would put the age of this bottle 1890 to 1920 which is the period of the various items...

Removing salt deposit

I have found a number of bottles underwater that have been submerged around a hundred years. On the inside some of them it looks like salt has crystalized. I have tried soaking the bottles in fresh water and vinegar. It appears that some of the salt has sloughed off but most of it is still...

Help in identifying a bottle

Thanks. I have been finding liquor bottles in the same area that are in the 1890 to 1910 era so I thought this might something from around the same period. I'm a neophyte in bottle collecting even though I have been diving for 42 years.

Help in identifying a bottle

I found this bottle underwater near Whidbey Island Washington. I think it might be a ballast bottle but so far in my research I haven't been able to find anything that looks similar to it. It is green blown glass, no seams up the sides, numerous bubbles and irregular in shape. It is a little...
