    How old is this bottle?

    My son just found a bottle in the woods that looks exactly like this: ketchup bottle Has the same markings as listed in the link, i.e. "E1636" and 2, 5, and 4 around the logo. Does look like anything super-exciting, but I am wondering if we should go back and dig some more around the...

    How rare/valuable is this bottle?

    We were camping in Southern Maryland the other day and I found THIS bottle on the beach. Looks like it's been in the water for awhile. I was hoping to find a message in it but no such luck. :-) On the bottom it has "G-286" and "Duraglas". On the left of the diamond it has a "4" and on the...

    Set of about 30 bottles up for grabs -- take all or some

    I've decided to part with a set of about 30 bottles that I've dug up at the same location over the last couple of months. One reason is that my wife wants to clear some space in the basement and this treasure did not make it to the list of what stays. :-( Here is an album with the photos...

    Best way to id a bottle by bottom markings?

    Is there a way to id a jar or a bottle by its bottom markings that is better than simply googling it. That is, is there some sort of online guide to bottom markings. Here are three specific cases. 1. "3-K-415-S" 2. "D 23 65-9" 3. "C8 G8 2000 6 61 49" plus some text that I can't...

    So I was looking at these two bottles: and then it occurred to me that I can do this: So all I need now is to find some type of rubber piece to fit around the small bottle to make a tight bottle stopper... Can't say it looks particularly elegant but maybe this way I can actually...

    Selling mason jar

    what to do with all these bottles?

    This is a question from a newbie that has a box of 20 or so bottles from two digs (https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/results-of-another-dig-at-the-same-place/m-465100/tm.htm) sitting in his basement. Looks like one or two of those have some value, so I might be able to sell them to someone...

    trying to read the logo -- best way to clean off rust?

    OK, so I decided to clean up this canteen (https://www.antique-bottles.net/forum/anything-interesting-in-this-collection%3F/m-462400/tm.htm) a bit more to try to figure out what it is. Right in the middle on one side saw a logo mostly covered by iron rust dust that got glues to the canteen...

    First post: an unexpected find during creek clean-up

    Hello everyone! Just join this forum. Excited about it since now I hope I can find out a lot about the results of what started as a community clean-up effort and ended up being a mini "archeological dig". My son and I were participating in a community clean-up event yesterday picking up...
