Hi everyone! I'm hoping to get some of your bottle expertise! Moved into a 113 year old home outside of Philadelphia and set to rehabilitating the horribly neglected gardens. Digging to make a tomato garden on top of a small hill near the house, I started digging up a whole bunch of stuff. I took a few of the bottles inside and started doing some research. This forum has been invaluable! Thank you very much for all the guidance you've already given me! From what little I've learned as a bottle newbie, it looks like I've stumbled upon the home's dump and I'm digging up 1920-1940 bottles (mostly ketchup and fruit jars, really). I don't really care about, "OMG, what is this worth?!" I'd just like to identify what some of these suckers are, just to know. Here are some photos. Can you help me?
Research indicates that the one on the left is a typical pickle jar. The one on the right though?
Here's the bottom of it.
Both of these have Hazel Atlas stamps on the bottom. Right is about the size of a juice glass.
Stamp on the bottom of the left one looks odd. Off center and kind of smudged.
Don't know what any of these guys are! No labels on the bottom. The one on the far left is very heavy and thick, the bottom has no marks, but is all wrinkly.
These ones are all smaller than my thumb.
I think this one looks like it has a pour spout!
Couldn't get a very good picture, but it looks like it says QTY or OTV. Didn't find that mark on the glass bottle marks website
Maybe an M with a line under it? A W under a line? A 3 with an unfortunate crease? Again, didn't find the mark on the site. But I'm bad at distinguishing marks, too. I thought that the F. Weber Co Sphinx was a person on a sled!
Extracts? They're roughly the size of an extract bottle. No marks on the bottoms. Some have numbers, but that's it.
You've made it to the bottom! Thanks very much for reading. I appreciate the patience you've taken with a newbie!
