Hi everyone,
Thanks for any advice given on recent bottles and DM’s from a few to try out other forums! The advice has been really helpful for a newbie!
Anyway, I may have come across a really nice little dump site to explore. With it being summer, it gives me more time to go out and check out...
Hi again folks. Some more nice finds at the tip! I got back down to the tip on my lunch break and had a surface look for some old pottery so I can go home and research to find an age. So, I collected some of the nicest samples and made my way back to the school. I noticed old looking glass along...
As promised, some close-ups of the crown perfumery bottles, and the Coca Cola bottle from the creek. The crown perfumery bottles are apparently difficult to find? I picked up all 5 for £25 at my local Charity Shop, and wondered if you guys had any idea on the value of them. Anyways, went back to...
Thank you very much for the attention! At the minute, I am out at my college, but I will be sure to stick some pictures on there later. The Crown Perfumery Bottles were bought as a set. The lot was sold to me for £25 in my local charity shop. I knew they were valuable but just never had the time...

I can give some information! So the brown bottle is some kind of beer or ale bottle, probably from around 1880-1900. And the other 2 bottles, one being a Hatchinson style bottle (The Lyon’s) and the other being an applied lip bottle, both would’ve been soda bottles!
Thanks for all the help everyone! One of my friends also went there and found this really nice R-Whites sofa bottle. I’ll attach some photos at the bottom. I’m guessing we can date this dump by finding age of the bottles, so I would think this dump is late victorian and possibly edwardian. I do...
Yes nice find! The seam on the bottle tells us it was made in two halves, so probably 1920’s to 1930’s, but lovely find nonetheless. Looks like a whiskey flask, I love finding these but even better if they’re embossed!
Hi all,
This is my first post on this site and I am excited to share this bottle I found. I was cycling out across the forrest near my house and was on my way to an 1940’s dump site in the forrest. On the way, I stopped by an old Farmstead to have some food, and noticed the valley next to it. It...
