Hey guys. Not a lot for the past two weeks digging, but it's good stuff. Here are two soda bottles: the left is a Rock Creek from D.C. and the right is a Nehi (not sure if you can see the label). I don't know where the Nehi is from, but if I were to guess I would say Frederick, MD. Each painted label is nearly complete and neither have chips or cracks!

This one is a pint milk bottle from Brunswick, MD, right across the river. It's a Souder and Chick dairy bottle. I've been in some antique stores in Brunswick and see those bottles highly priced! Plus this is the first (and only) pint I know of. The paint is bad, but knowing it's a Souder and Chick bottle makes it that much better!

I don't know how old this champagne is, but it could be TOC. This is the first champagne I've found at this dump.

Here's the base. What type of base is that?

Here's the top. If you look closely, you can see the stretch marks on the neck, and the top is wavy, too.

Finally, a huge Ball Ideal Mason! This thing is a mammoth! It has no chips or cracks, which is unbelievable for a jar of that size. Just for comparison, the pint dairy bottle is shown next to it.

The Souder and Chick bottles are around and with good pyro, they sell for atleast $25 a piece.

Thanks Henry and Joe for your replies! I do have a question though about the Ideal Mason. There's no number on the base (like most mason jars) and it looks like a milk bottle base only rougher. Does that date the jar earlier or what?
