So I just found this bottle in Mississippi at an estate sale and was wondering if anyone could shine light on maker or a rough age range it could be. I’m lost at dating bottles because I can’t find the same one online and the lack of markings is throwing me off. It’s hand blown with a lot of...
This is a James Buchanan & Co. LTD scotch whiskey bottle I found today. It dates from the 1910's-1920's. This is the second example I have found in this area.
It has an applied top, which was surprisingly still a common feature on many British bottles in the early 20th century.
Fresh from the...
Hi! Thanks for allowing me to join the forum! I have been collecting glass and pottery of all kinds for most of the last 25 years. Most exciting to find of course are the unbroken pieces. I have a lot of pieces I would like to eventually identify. The treasure of the find is the hunt you take...
I just got this 1968 10 ounce Mountain Dew Canadian version of the embossed Hillbilly bottle. This style with the Ya-hoo! / Hillbilly embossing was only made in 1968 and only in Canada. Its lettering is half French and half English. According to the Dick Bridgforth book, this is a common, but I...

I'm pretty sure the amber pisos bottle is a more recent one. The green one is shorter than the amber one and the seam on the amber one goes all the way up to the top of the lip, while as the green one only goes up to halfway up the neck.
The bore on the amber bottle is smaller than the green...

Here is a hard-to-find 1940 paper label beer bottle from Rainier Brewing Company. The bottle was made by Owens-Illinois. I am curious what the red number on the label means, and if each label had a unique number. Extra Export Stout began production in 1936. The product did not have a long run...
