2 days ago me and my Dad were cleaning out an attic in a 100 year old farm house. He found found 4 (1915 morristown coke and my first 1915, fincastle corn whiskey made by the dant distillery company incorporated with the paper label still perfectly intact, a condiment bottle, and just a square one).
After this I wanted to look through the blown in insulation and see if I could find anything else. At first there were a bunch of 20s or 30s dual purpose cups that held something then were used as drinking glasses. One of them still had the paper label. I kept looking and hit the jackpot. Lots of medicine and extract bottles with quite a few that still had the paper label. A local med that I have a paper label version of from 50s. A cobalt fountain pen ink with the paper label. Some Rawleigh's and Langes, sauers extract, and 2 beers. A hexagonal "pepto-mangan (gude)".

It is made by root and I assume the date is 1928

I think it dates to somewhere between 1936-1951. Could one of the numbers on the bottom be a date? It's made by owen illinois but there aren't numbers to the left or right.

Sorry got side tracked and forgot to post the rest of the pictures. Here's the beers. Also there's three not two, apparently I can't count. Lol
They are just short slicks. All machine made. I would guess 20s or 30s.

That labelled cobalt ink is great, don't see many of those with labels on them.
Yeah, whenever I found that one I was stoked. At about the time I found it, I started wheezing and coughing pretty bad. But obviously I don't listen to the obvious signs that tell me I probably should get out out there.
