Found a new spot at a big 1800s bottle dump

[Tom smith]

Just dug these up today and was really happy to get them. The vaseline is my second one but it does have an applied top. The flask looks to be from the 1880s also with an applied top. The F.R & co. N.Y. I have no idea about it, if anyone knows anything about it I would love to know. And the one I'm most excited about is the blue one. It looks really old with an applied top maybe 1870, the 1860s? with a crude applied top. Any info would be very helpful.


Thank you

Looks more 1890-1900 to me. Those are tooled tops, not applied, Hand blown into a full height blowback mold. Nice finds though, and there might very well be earlier stuff on that site. Thanks for sharing.

I can't tell for sure what the bottle was used for.A good guess would be medicine.The applied lip is a hint called applied extract lip for about 1860'-70's when tooled lips replaced applied lips!
