Maggi bottle

No, I barely dog paddle. Friend of mine lives on a small island during the summer. I was telling her this week, I bet there is a lot of bottles down there. Lots of very old small summer cabins on the island. I better learn to dive!!

What are these marble like pieces I find around the bottles

I also found marbles in an old surface dump on my property. I just figured they must have been popular back then. I would be curious to know if they had a purpose.

The little brown ones are embossed with poison tint. iodine (with your complimentary skull & cross bones). The smaller one still has the cork and glass applicator. Also found an embalming fluid bottle but I won't bring that one in the house.

Thank you for the information, and you are right. The most exciting part is that I dug them out of my own yard! Great window into lives of the people that lived here before. The sad part is that for every intact bottle I find, there are many more broken ones. Lots of broken kerosene...

Thank you for the huge welcome! I had no idea the purplish bottle was an ammonia bottle. Always loved history, therefore moved into an old house. But finding the dump on the property was like hitting the jackpot! Gives me a glimpse of what life was like for the ones that lived here before...

There are no numbers on the bottom or heel of the purple bottle. However I do have other milk bottles that do have dates. One is a milk bottle from Brooklyn. On the bottom it is embossed PAT. SEPT. 17 89
