Put in about 75 minutes today at a local dump. Wasn't gonna leave until I found a "taker." This is what came home with me.

Can anybody help me on date and value and is it a liquor bottle? A quick search on Ebay shows 2 similar @ prices of $15 and $30....other styles a bit less.

Yes on a whiskey, those E-bay completed sales are your best gauge on current value of a bottle like this...Jim

I'd think 1900-20ish

It would be "Gaelic" btw. Dug one in a 30s dump and threw it away a few months later. If they are worth 15-30 then that wasn't exactly a smooth move, but mine was ABM if memory serves. Interesting find and brand name, for certain.

THANKS FOR THE DATING & PRICING HELP. NICE TO KNOW THAT I BROUGHT A DECENT BOTTLE HOME FOR THE TIME I SPENT. I RARELY BRING LIQUOR BOTTLES HOME. I AM CURRENTLY DIGGING OUTSIDE OF A FAIRLY NEW HOUSE BACKYARD ON A MARGIN OF DIRT THAT BORDERS A NURSERY PROPERTY. I USUALLY LEAVE ANY BOTTLES BEHIND THAT I DON'T TAKE AROUND THE BASE OF A TREE. THERE'S A PATH THAT JOGGERS, DOG WALKERS USE NEXT TO WHERE I'M DIGGING.

"GAELIC" --- I SEE THAT NOW WAS TOUGH TO READ AS THERE IS A BUBBLE CONNECTING THE "G" MAKING IT LOOK LIKE A "B". PLUS THE EMBOSSMENT IS RATHER LIGHT!
