    Curious about these jars.

    They're just generic jars really. There's nothing to match them to, could have been used by anyone for any sort of food product. No way to know the glass factory either without some sort of maker's mark.

    Little bit of everything

    Shame that the Myers bottle is broken, but it suggests you're onto a good spot there!

    Rare Utah can added to my collection!

    I didn't notice that, that's very interesting! I've never seen that either, looks like it'd be expensive to produce a label like that.

    Looking for info; embossed BUBBLES; no other markings.

    Oh yeah then it's very likely that both are from the same company. Does it have anything on the base? What does the other Bubbles bottle look like?

    Rare Utah can added to my collection!

    Wow, that's very cool! Not easy to find cans in that good shape from that era regardless of what they are, especially oil cans.

    Virginia bottle dump

    That Warranted Flask is quite a lot older than the others, probably 1890s-1910s-ish. It's a sign that there's likely some older stuff buried underneath!

    Looking for info; embossed BUBBLES; no other markings.

    Hmm, not much to go on with this one. It's not exactly the sort of name you can Google. Where did you find it? It was likely a local product to that area.

    looking to for an answer

    You should show the full embossing of the beer bottles as well. Some of those could be good ones. The ones without any embossing are probably nothing too special and can be used for crafting without worry. Not sure if that Sealfast jar is of particular collectors' interest or not, I'm not...

    Beginner Question - Price Guide?

    This is the sort of thing that really only comes through experience. Like you say, just too many bottles out there to ever compile a guide, and the prices fluctuate wildly at auctions. A $50 bottle on Wednesday might be a $200 bottle on Friday, just depending on who happens to be looking at...

    Wood bottle model-Clear Springs Pop Shop, Vancouver B.C.

    That's really cool! I found this image of bottles from the other Pop Shoppe, and they used both of those designs. I wonder if these wooden models originated with them - did you get them from the same place? I don't remember seeing anyone else using that diamond design before. I know...

    Non-Refillable Bottle - 1907

    Is there any indication that these were ever actually produced? What were they supposed to be used for?

    identify these 2 bottles

    Welcome to the forum! I suspect the blue one is even newer, when did cobalt blue wine bottles first show up, the 80s or so? I associate them with the 21st century for the most part. The one on the left looks older, maybe 1930s or so? And the one on the right is hard to date, probably...

    found more flat top cans - 7up, Patio-Root Beer , Wink

    Oh wow I see what you mean, yeah I would never have thought the white would turn brown and the brown would turn white, but I see it now!

    Dating Guerlain bottle

    I haven't been able to find any examples of that one online either, which is a bit surprising because it looks like this company's bottles are pretty well-documented. It's got a vague resemblance to the Shalamar bottles, so maybe some variation on that product? Age-wise I suspect it's not that...

    I need some help with a Orange Crush bottle

    Looks like yours is one of the early (though not quite earliest) Canadian ones. Strange that they were asking $30-50 for the other ones, not many Orange Crushes are worth that and it looks like you got one of the better ones anyway. I assume it must be one of those antique stores which sell...

    Dump Discoveries - Two separate dumps, one location - one 1920s/30s, one 40s-60s

    I was so certain that the dog was a pipe holder, but apparently it's actually a letter holder. It used to have a metal spring fitted into that slot on the back which you could put letters in: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235436004832

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    Wow, that is incredible! I was imagining it was going to be a rusty and corroded sword you found metal detecting or something, but that thing is stunning, and in fantastic condition! That's a curb find of a lifetime!

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    I'd love to see a photo of that sword as well! What's the story behind that one? Definitely not something you find every day.

    Portholes From a Shipwreck

    That's so cool! I bet there's a lot more buried in the mud there. Have you tried looking for historic aerial photos to see if you can see the wrecked boat? It would likely have been visible there for a while, and there's a good chance it would have been intact within the past 100 years. That...

    New member first post on my findings from digging the last few weeks

    Looks like you've got a good spot with all those tooled-lip beers!
