today's finds, a dark amber ornamental flask with ONE PINT on the bottom; T.M.REG.U.S.PAT. OFF. PAT.PENDING on bottom along with and Owens-Illinois circle with a year code of 4 (no period after). i'm thinking 1934 because its not Duraglass and there is no rippling.

and the next is a HIRES HOUSEHOLD EXTRACT, FOR HOME USE, MANUFACTURED BY THE CHARLES E. HIRES C., PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA. The bottom has the number 115. thanks!

IT'S NOT MY PIC...BUT THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN..?

I think you nailed the date on the whiskey bottle. The Hires looks to be from the 1910s-early 1920s. They were made from the 1870s-1950s, if not later.

I think that is an Ancient Age whiskey bottle.

nice pic but these look to be screw tops...

 

[ROBDABOLINA]

thanks! that seems about right, considering the location where they were found...

 

[ROBDABOLINA]

cool! i'll look it up...

The dates seem right to me for the whiskey. By the way the reason the threads are so low on the neck of the bottle, is that they had a large metal dose/shot cup cap that screwed on to the top.
