These bottles are from a dump I found last year. Mostly twenties era, but there are some earlier bottles mixed in once and a while. Got these after just one hour of digging. I've never seen a golden state mason jar before. It's pretty neat. The bottle that is second from the left is a different color than I've seen before too. I've dug darker amber ones, but this one is a lighter color. The best bottle I got today was probably the Underhill Druggist bottle from Nashua NH.

Interesting mix of bottles. Have you noticed older bottles the deep you go?

Here are some of them cleaned up, plus a neat police motorcycle, and a santa light bulb. I though it was a melted bulb until I brushed the dirt off. Can anyone tell me what the light amber bottle on the right was used for?

Please don't clean the motorcycle cop any more than you already have! That could be worth a fortune if you don't tamper with the original paint work. I hope it's worth a fortune.

The bike cop must have spent some time in the sun on one side. One side is faded, and the other is darker in color. Still a cool piece though. I found one selling on ebay for 50.00. I guess it's made of rubber.
