    Catto's whisky bottle

    If it was made within 1932-1964 it would have "Federal Law Forbids Sale or Re-use of This Bottle". All hard liquor bottle had that embossed on them. It looks turn of the century to me but they could be behind in technology. Probably 1890-1930.

    Date this Dump?

    Machine made bottles dont mean there cant be any blown bottles deeper. Here in Illinois i dug 1910-1940's bottles about 1' down and 3' down i was finding 1880's whiskeys. Some dumps were used for along period of time..............keep diging....Jake
