[attachment=stoneware front.JPG]Bottom of dump. What are these worth with no marks on the bottom. Looks to be 1800s salt glazed stoneware? Anybody got info on these? [attachment=cocacola front.JPG] Crown top Rochester NY coca-cola with slice of the top part of the crown chipped off(bummer). Still have any value to collectors due to possible rarity? I'm not sure if it is rare or not but says 'A.L Anderson' I think. Looks to be 1905-1915 possibly. Information on this bottle would be cool too.[attachment=My finds.JPG]From left to right it's a 'Dr. Miles Remedy For The Heart', TOC aqua ball mason, 1890's I.D Buttles blob beer, a 'Great Atlantic And Pacific Tea Company Jersey City NJ(A&P extracts)1890's and an etched glass or crystal cup not sure which. Thanks!

most of the this stuff is typical of a 1900s dump it looks like a n.j dump.The coca with damage will bring very little interest . the stone were may be worth $ 8.00 TO 10.00 bucks all the other bottles are common every body who digs has found them over and over agene.

I'm sure you could get at least five bucks for the Coca-Cola at a flea market. Not from a serious collector, but a lot of amateur collectors would love to find any straight-side Coca-Cola. I might even buy that for five bucks if I came across it, just because I don't have a straight-side and for the possibility that it might be rare. The quart blob's got to be worth at least ten dollars as well.

When I began digging in 1964, we used to pitch anything with a chip or crack, no matter how minor, as well as ketchups, sauces, and milks! Yes, MILKS! Nobody collected them back then and acl's were a sign to put down the shovel & move on! Back before my time, in the 40's & 50's, people would walk over the town dumpsites and pick up only the bitters and whiskeys, leaving everything else behind. One reason why many town dumps have all sorts of bottles, minus these two! That said, the obvious is, what isn't collected/collectable today very well may be the hot ticket in a few years. And if YOU like it and collect it, doesn't that now make it "collectable?" Just saying........Jack
