Hello, I have found several bottles. I would sure like some help identifying the year and maybe the value.

I can make out a 59 on the milk bottle, that might be the year and if not it'll date to around then. Value will depend on local collectors' interest, unfortunately it's not in great condition so that'll hurt the value. The blue jar is quite common, not sure about the good luck jar. I've seen those posted on here but never came across one in person.

I like the color on your ez-seal. I pulled a load of them out one time all sizes mixed with ball jars but all of them were clear. I have seen the Boll's but in red acl it had milk that tastes like milk slogan with a face on the reverse they also came in black like yours value. Atlas Goodluck clover leaf jar is a neat find.

The sealed 1-11-14 refers to the “seal” numbers that a bunch of states required of milk producers to put on bottles. Thatcher had code 11 then added 1 and 14 as they bought other plants. The two attached photos and links explain it in great detail, but still rather confusing. Look for the thatcher mark mTc along the heel or on bottom. Might be a 2 digit date code too on the bottom. Likely 40s or later. I’ve found several mtc milk bottles with those sealed numbers as well.

There is a ton of info to learn from the experts on here and from a few websites like sha.org and bottlemarks.com. I am a newbie also. A couple members have their own comprehensive sites too. Milk bottles are a fun category of collecting. The ones I have dug are round and embossed with local dairy names in sizes from from 1 quart to 1/4 pint. Dates are from 1910s through 40s when the square painted label bottles pretty much replaced the round embossed ones. Here is a late example of an embossed one from 1946, thatcher glass.
