Here's one of mine- believe it or not this is one of my favorite bottles. It's an Owens-Illinois Whiskey from 1937. My uncle dug it up 24 years ago.

Hi all! I've got one, no label or embossing, but a really cool color! I wasn't sure WHAT color it was until the oxy clean got to work. It's a square bottle, but it's a really light, almost apple green. It's got a concave bottom, like a champagne bottle, but I've never seen a square champagne bottle. My DH thinks it might be a gin bottle. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I also have another one, it's from a new dump I just discovered (I had to leave it behind because I didn't have enough room) I believe it's from 1958 and it's made by Glenshaw. I'll see If I can go back and get it next week. I'll also keep a look-out at my main dump.

Hello All, Augest & September are very busy for me at the Festival. We open for 7 weekends in Oct. NO time for any digging []! In fact no time for anything but work[].
Thanks, Tony, for asking about the 'book'. I have been collecting ALOT of data and have started an outline. I have also expanded my personal collection a bit...
I have dcided to include some pre 1900 whiskey bottles in the history section as well as pre-prohibition and prohibition/medicinal, as they all relate directly to the 'Fed Law' bottles.
I have started to photograph the bottles for use in the 'guide' (I like this word better than 'book') and have also gathered photos from other sources.
I will attache a pic at this time and more in the upcoming days.
Thanks to all for helping. There will be credit where credit is due.
I'm not done yet though!!!
So please keep those photos and bottle donations coming
Thanks, GARY
