I really dont think is too old, most likely 50s or 60s but it looked kind of interesting so I took it off a a friends hands who was cleaning out the common stuff. Only the lower section of the top is threaded. Has a smooth section on one side where maybe a label was, and 2 separate spots on the...
I found this scratching around the surface in some old dumps that had 50s-60s garbage on top, and some older stuff like this was mized in, this was the only older bottle that wasnt broke. It had a piece of the cork left in it which kept it still sealed and had some yellow powdery substance still...
So I found one of these the other day while exploring an abandoned railroad yard that was once a scrap yard as well. I looked around online and cant seem to find much even on the smaller sizes of this brand, never mind anything on the one pint version I found. Is this anything to hang onto or...
I found this piece today while walking the railroad tracks looking for insulators. I cant say that I've ever seen a milk shaped like this one before, anyone familiar with something this?
I know its not worth much of anything, but I only kept this one because of the color and the corrugations on the sides and I thought it looked neat. When I found it there was a wire holder under the cap with two strips of what looked like felt hanging down into whatever was once in here....any...
I stopped by an antique shop yesterday just to see what they had, and I was suprised to find almost the whole back half of the store filled with bottles. It was mostly local hutches, milks, and sodas (most seemed overpriced). However a milk crate full of flasks caught my eye. I'm really dont...
I found this today at the bottom of an embankment while walking at the railroad tracks. It stands a little over 7 1/4 tall, and embossed around the bottom is "Cantrell & Cochrane". On one side under "Cantrell" are the numbers 68221. I'm guessing around 1930s-40s'ish for age. I cant imagine it...
A couple weeks ago my girlfriend picked this one up for 5 bucks at the same vendor at the flea market that I bought a nice codd off of the week before. I couldnt find much about it online, but I did find one picture of the same one that she has on "Reggies antique medicine bottles" website...
Heres a shot of my collection so far. Nothing too great but I'm still pretty much a newbie when it comes to bottles.
In the first row is just a couple common edison battery oils
2nd row is (L to R):
Standard Brewing Co Scranton, PA
AH Whitmer Selinsgrove, PA
E&J Burke beer

Just thought I would introduce myself here, my name is John, I'm from Jermyn, PA (near Scranton). I was a lurker on the forums for a while, but just joined yesterday since I've been finding a lot of bottles in the past few weeks. My main thing is insulators, and the majority of my bottles are...
I was out exploring the remains of an old stone crusher near a river yesterday and I came across some newer soda bottles and mason jars and started scratching around with a stick to see if I could find anything good, the first thing I found was some kind of lid with an embossing of the white...
