    First time posting for ID

    Hello and welcome to the forum! Hard to know exactly what these were or when they were made unless you recognize the particular bottle since they are sans label. I think these are a bit more modern than 1930s; probably 40s through early 60s based on my experience. The "Federal Law Prohibits"...

    "Barbo Hair Treatment" bottle

    To add, even though the product didn't work, it manage to stick around in the market. One of the only other things I can find is a portion of "The Forty-Seventh Report on Food Product and Thirty-Fifth Report on Drug Products, 1942", produced by the Connect Agricultural Experiment Station in New...

    "Barbo Hair Treatment" bottle

    Hi Peggy, always love old paper label bottles; something I never find in tact while dump digging. I couldn't find much on the specifics of the company (like when it was founded, etc.), but it seems that the product was a sham and did not work. I was able to find an article in a 1919 edition of...

    Found buried in yard, any ideas of age and use?

    The seam going through the top indicates that the bottle was made in a mold in a machine, and is post-1915. My guess would be 1930s-1960s, but can't nail down an exact year. I'd also still guess something like a vinegar, salad dressing, etc.

    Souvenir porcelain teacup - Custom House & Post Office, Bathurst, NB

    Was visiting the pair of dumps I've gone to all summer, and was in the older section - mainly 1920s and 1930s trash that was dumped over a no longer extant bridge into the river below; changes in its height and depth have placed a ton of the items in the walls of the current riverbanks and some...

    River finds. Low water level fun. First river hutch find!!!

    A couple of great finds, that's for sure! Love the look of that Capitol City Brewing bottle, and hopefully the hutch cleans up nice - looks like the embossing on that one might actually be pretty strong if all the gunk gets out of there!

    Found buried in yard, any ideas of age and use?

    That's certainly an interesting one, can't say I've seen many others like it. Does the seam go all the way through the lip of the bottle? Will help narrow down the time period a little at least. Given the handle I have to assume this was some kind of sauce, dressing, etc. Something that...

    Old truck uncovered along road in the woods

    I agree with Leon - the body panels actually look to be in great shape. Someone would definitely use those body parts to either build a street rod or restore their own truck. I'm thinking right around the same time period as Leon, 1930s up until the mid 1940s. By the early 50's most automakers...

    First crock lid, some nice little bottles, animal horns + more!

    yup - anything of the animal that couldn't really be used for much else by the family got tossed.

    Some of my latest acquisitions, along with my first bottle purchase(s), need some help identifying the method of production and approx date range

    Probably not possible to nail it down any closer than that range I gave (about 1900-1915). The 9 on the base is likely just a mold number, and means nothing to those outside of the company (and those documents are long gone).

    Some of my latest acquisitions, along with my first bottle purchase(s), need some help identifying the method of production and approx date range

    I am by no means an expert, but from the limited amount I know I can tell you this about them: No. 1 is a turn-mold wine bottle with a pretty crude tooled top. Could date anywhere from the 1860s to about 1910, though I'd guess the later end of that time period. The "scratch marks" are whittle...

    Thought I'd try a new place, BAM.

    Looks like a it was a good choice! Nice finds!

    First crock lid, some nice little bottles, animal horns + more!

    Easy to miss - especially because these photos were before cleaning (though the crock lid is heavily stained by iron, as are most things from this dump

    Anyone know what this is?

    Here's another recent thread that I think is very similar to yours. Looks like a pretty highly sought-after bottle. https://www.antique-bottles.net/threads/u-s-mail.699466/

    There's a 2 stamped on it, so I assume 2 gallon?

    Snider bottle

    EDIT: did a bit more research and found some more. I can't find exactly when this company may have been founded, but as early as 1895 I can find advertisements from a local store that mention "Snider's Catsup" and Snider's Soup"; I'm not sure if these are related. In 1909 Percy Dawson, Daniel...

    First crock lid, some nice little bottles, animal horns + more!

    Here's a bit more info I've found on the embossed bottles: Hires Household Extracts: https://www.fohbc.org/PDF_Files/HiresRootBeer_DonYates.pdf - from what I understand these are pretty common. I find tons of Baker's from every time period it seems. Based out of Springfield, MA. The A. Trask...

    A Great Day in the River!

    Always know I'm in for some great finds when I click on one of your threads, and this time did not disappoint! I love the frosted look of that Foy & Starr!

    First crock lid, some nice little bottles, animal horns + more!

    The latest trip to this dump (generally 1920s-1930s it seems) didn't produce as many whole items (tons of broken pieces), but still some nice finds! This is the first *almost* whole piece of crockery that I've found, and the design on it is pretty killer. From what I can tell the horns are...

    Tiny Glass Bottle Identification

    Hard to know exactly, but I'd guess some type of perfume/eau de toilet/cologne. That's what I usually categorize any small bottles like that as.
