what is this mass bottle LA CROIX ?
I find them a fair amount in Massachusetts, but they are almost always broken. I've never found any other branded blob tops that are so consistently broken, even now I only have 2 that are complete and one has a big crack in it. I don't know anything about glassmaking but maybe this company was...- FreeRangeAsparagus

Salve-Cea
I recently did some digging on Salva-Cea jars for someone in town, I thought I'd share my findings here. The jar in question is a stout cobalt jar with the words SALVA-CEA and THE BRANDRETH CO. N.Y. embossed on it. This post includes some minor guesswork about the fate of the Brandreth Co. If...- FreeRangeAsparagus

I have also seen just ‘K’ bottoms but never looked for an answer. I would start here, many many pictures of bottle marks. https://glassbottlemarks.com/bottlemarks/- FreeRangeAsparagus

Quality OVER quantity? 2022 Bottle Hunting Wrap-up
Why not both? In this post I’ll discuss and show off a portion of 1,598 bottles I found in the river this summer. Hope that’s interesting enough to keep folks reading! This year I really kicked the bottle collecting into high gear and took advantage of Massachusetts’ heat wave that dropped the...- FreeRangeAsparagus

Has anyone seen one of these?
I dig a lot of plain "federal use prohibits" or "warranted flask" flasks out here in Massachusetts, but I'd say it's about 1 in 100 that the river spits out a heavily embossed flask with something interesting. I think the last one I found was last year, nothing from this year springs to mind.- FreeRangeAsparagus
