    Williams Magnetic Relief

    Can anyone tell me about this product? I know the bottles are fairly common. I just want to know what was in it, what it claimed to do and when it was around.

    Phalon & Son's Perfumers round bottle, tell me about this bottle

    I did enough research to know Phalon and Son's are common enough and the general age range. I didn't see any round ones in my image search. Are these less common? Would love if someone could date this and walk me through the process. I have my ideas but want to check. This bottle was...

    Still finding them at the stream

    Only had short time today. Instead of digging in the gravel bank, I just went up the opposite shore and double checked areas I'd already been over. The brook has risen and fallen several times since last trip. This time I focused on the steep bank, the spaces between the rocks and under brush...

    Couple of cool liquor bottles to put you in mood for a feast

    ...at least I think they are. The tall one was one of the first I found in the stream and is depicted in that first thread. The second bottle was dug from the gravel bank right near by. It is one of my favorite bottles so far. Breaks my heart because I think I made it cloudy with CLR. The...

    Can anyone tell me what product was in this bottle and teach me about how it was made

    Phew that was a mouthful! I'm really interested in the bottles from a historical point of view and I'm getting interested in bottle manufacturing. Ive perused the sites and learned alot but am overwhelmed by data overload. I wanted to see if any bottle geeks can help my education...

    More stream finds: beverage bottles

    So still posting just finds from one small section of a small brook in Ma. A small turn of the century mill village with a stop on the Boston rail line as well as local trolley line. Almost all these beer, ale, wine and spring water bottles were in the stream or laying exposed on the bank...

    More from the stream

    This is what the stream looked like before the rain. Looking upstream from the remains of the old dam. Most of the view would have been under a mill pond for much of the 19th century. In modern times the brook is usually 3 times the size shown here. Drought and beaver dropped the stream enough...

    Stream finds

    I grew up fishing the brook down the street. 40 years ago I didn't collect bottles but always interested in history and old stuff, I noticed all the bottle shards in the gravel bed. Now I finally went back. The combination of drought and upstream beavers had lowered the stream lower than...

    Green half gallon duraglass: any way to know what was in it?

    I know the clear ones are common. I never seen a green one in my short career. No doubt they're common as well and without a label, not collectible. Nevertheless, it's gorgeous and I can't believe I dug it out 2 feet down under a bunch of diry and rocks and metal and it's spotless but for...

    Clay tobacco pipe

    Dug this pipe yesterday in an old long drained mill pond. There is only one thin layer of artifacts on top of clay and under a foot of stream silt. Every thing else from that layer appears to date narrowly in the first decade 20th century or so as determined by local beverage bottles that can...

    Beginner finding more bottles than info: are these catsup bottles?

There's so much information it's overwhelming, but when you have a specific question you can't find it. I'm particularly interested in soda, acl, pepsi, local. I'm picking up othet stuff but...

    Anyone collect modern bottles? Found early Sobe tea from 90s

    Found a couple of these in the woods behind a small bottling plant. Found a spot where employees took drink breaks. This would have been a new product then, bottled by small independents like the one here. In early 2000s it was sold to Pepsi and went to plastic around '10 I believe. Will these...
