I stumbled on a bottle dump in the woods behind my rural property. Found some intact bottles amongst lots of broken stuff. From what I can tell (mostly from broken pieces) the older stuff is early 20th C. Some, however, is just totally new junk. Am extremely curious to get an idea of dating and of older stuff, and what it is. No labels left at all. But I don't know a thing about bottles.
Where can I find a glossary of trms and abbrev's? I havene't even figured out whta "ACL" means yet.
Does screw-top versus plain (for a cork?) help date anything?
I will post photos very soon, but am still cleaning up the bottles.
I have one round bottle with a flat side, 6" approx, as if it would sit on a shelf up against a wall. Any ideas what it might be. Looks pharmaceutical.
Will post markings etc. with photos of bottles.
Great Forum! My curiosity is really piqued!
