Hi y’all! I’m excited to have found this site. I have probably 200+ vintage/antique bottles pulled from the family creek over the years and I want to learn more about them.

Post some pictures showing close-ups of the tops and bottoms. Take your time and be sure your pictures show details like date codes on the bottoms. It will make it much easier for an accurate identification. Welcome to the site and happy hunting,

Well, that is going to require some photos of the items. I suggest that you begin with single-row group shots of 8 or 10 bottles at a time placed close enough to the camera lens that the entire form of the bottles is evident from base to top lip, and that main embossing, if any, is turned square-on to the camera. Place a plain, preferably white, background like a draped bedsheet or piece of cardboard behind the bottles so that light reflected through the glass gives a reasonably accurate indication of the color. It never hurts to add a common item such as a modern soda can, or even a ruler to provide a sense of scale.

If any bottles of interest appear in such arrays, rest assured that our members will solicit more information, such as written quotation of all embossing text or detailed photos of specific bottle features, in order to identify the bottle(s) and provide some indication of age, collectibility and more.
