So these were my 2 keepers of the day. The ancient age is from the 1930s and is pretty cool. The pink/purple one was a surprise. Apparently back in the day they were using manganese which after years or decades in the sun can cause the bottles to turn pinkish. For the most part they stopped using manganese in the early 20th century. With all that being said I can't find any markings whatsoever on this bottle so I can't ID it or date it, anyone have any ideas?

That's a nice amethyst whiskey bottle. Looks like it dates to the turn of the century or so, give or take a decade. Shame it's not embossed, if it was it would be a fantastic find.
