    Bottle with glass measurer inside.

    I remember using those ink bottles when I was a kid in elementry school , back in the early sixties . We wern't allowed to use ballpoint pens in school . I haven't checked but they might still be selling ink in those kind of bottles . [;)]

    Cobalt mini-jug

    Not all construction guys . I'm a construction guy who collects bottles .[:D] Most of the jobs I go to don't have any bottles , but once in a while I find one that does . That's how I got started collecting bottles . I would say most contruction guys don't give a hoot about old bottles , I came...

    read's bottles

    Hi TNTBI , the post you read about the Read's bottle was probably mine . I found mine in Anne Arundel county , Maryland . My bottle is identical to yours , except mine is 5-5/8" tall . The only thing I can tell you is , Read's was a drug store chain , and judging from the bottles I found with...

    Bottle found in South Somerset Garden

    Welcome to the forum , mollymawk . Although your bottles don't have much monetary value , they're still nice bottles . You cleaned them up really nice , display them in your home somewhere , they're nothing to be ashamed of . For me , bottle collecting isn't about how much or how little my...

    Found a digging site at work !

    Hi Mike , it's nice to know I'm not the only person collecting "twentieth century junk" . The ladies leg doesn't have a kickup , but I think you might be right about the dump dating from the '30s - early '40s , it is located +/- 75 yards from the foundation at the top of a ravine . It was full...

    Found a digging site at work !

    I finally got on a job that has a spot where I might find some half decent bottles . I found some trash dumps from the 1950's (?) that were full of "federal law forbids..." liquor bottles and old pre-poptop beer cans . I rumaged through these dumps and found two liquor bottles I liked , one is a...

    Mystery amber bottle, pontiled?

    Shane , the 4 dots on the bottom of your bottle are probably from vent holes in the mould . Clean it up real good , it should be a nice dark green and will look good with light shining through it .

    Mystery amber bottle, pontiled?

    Welcome to the forum , dshaneb . As best as I can tell from your pic , your bottle is not pontiled . Open pontils are jagged , because they are broken off the blowpipe , and iron pontils usually have a graphite residue on them . I have a bottle like yours , and it is not pontiled . I bought mine...

    Another mystery.....

    Shawnd11 , welcome to the forum . I have a bottle almost identical to yours , except there are no words embossed on mine and the neck is shaped differently . The rest of the embossing is basicly the same as yours . My bottle has the Owen's trade mark on the base , an "O" over a diamond . I wish...
