A few bottles

[Bumpa66]

I haven't had time to go dig, and the weather has been terrible this year, but I recieved these bottles from my neighbor.....for free. I know they are not worth much, but you can't beat free. Especially for a new collector. This guy goes to auctions and gets bottles sometimes. Thanks for looking.. Kevin

This is a 1945 Creme de Menth bottle. Took it because it looks cool.

Pepsi bottle, maybe from the 20's?? Staunton, VA along the base.

This is a light aqua 1/2 gallon machine made cork top. Has the Illinois bottle company trademark on the bottom.

Dr. Pepper bottle with Ashland, NC on the bottom. Not sure of age.

This is a Mount Vernon whiskey. It has a tooled lip. Not sure of age.

 

[Bumpa66]

Here's the lip. Seems stops an inch down. I'm guessing 1910ish.

Hey Bumpa, nice bottles, especially for free. That pepsi could be worth a good deal. Does it have a letter J on the bottom? I love it. The dr pepper could be from the 40's.

 

[Bumpa66]

Iggy, yes, it has a J on the bottom. What does the J mean?

I'm not sure what it means. I am not a expert on pepsi's but I know a little about them. It might have something to do with the bottler. In the ayers book vol2 (2001) it list this bottle as very rare for 300$. Probably not that much today but still around 100$ I would guess. What is around the base? Hopefully others with even more knowledge will help.
