Cache of unembossed wine bottles?

[Nola.River.Rat]

This morning I dug these unembossed green tint bottles all in a 2'x2' area. I'm assuming they were wine bottles. Anyone know exactly what they contained? Some still contain label material around the lip. Thanks for looking!

With out a paper label still attached or embossing may be impossible to know for sure what was in it. I think these type of Bottles were used for more then just one kind of Product. LEON.

Thanks Leon! One of the wrappers around the lip had some writing but I couldn't read it. I am soaking it in some BKF now. Hopefully I will be able to make some out in a day or so.

I always considered these to be beer bottles, that's what all the labeled versions I've seen have been. Like Leon said though, all sorts of things could have gone in them. They weren't too picky about the style of bottle back then.

Green Bottles I don't think were to common for Beers in the old days but possible I guess. I know later on after 1933 Green Bottles were more likely used on Ale Bottles, Ale was much more Popular on East Coast side of USA. Leon.

Thanks! I think you are nailed it! I can make out a cursive B on one of the lip wrappers. Sounds like was an early version of Guinness beer

Sounds right Leon, but I think Guinness made both green and amber back then. I checked out Google and saw both green and amber versions made by E.&J. Burke that looked to be really similar.

Depends on what part of the world you're talking about. In the States, yeah green was definitely pretty unusual in those days. In the UK, clear or aqua beers were not at all common and almost all beers were green or brown. These would have been imported beers, so it makes sense for them to have been green even in the US. Some parts around here pretty much only got imported beer in the 19th century and the bottles are almost always green.
