Here is one of the Roman Bleach jugs I found all cleaned up. You can see on the last pic where the Super Clean degreaser corroded the bottom. :( But the rest of the bottle looks good.

Phew! When you said jugs...... I was like OMG corroded an earthen ware jug and I cried. But the bottom of that Roman still looks ok to me on the monitor of my computer. Looks like a fun dig ...that O so soda is nice! Have fun and good luck...hope to see you find more items.

I was pretty excited when I found it so I grabbed a lot of the top stuff, but managed to get a few good things. Found 2 Roman Cleanser Bleach jugs (3/4) gallon and a few other things. Here are some of the cleaned up ones:View attachment 205600View attachment 205601View attachment 205602
Nice finds. The O-So is remarkably clean, and the red is still intact, which is usually faded away. Kerr's are hard to date, from what I've seen, there isn't much info online for them. Beverage bottles usually have a lot number and year code on the bottom. Congrats!

Anybody know the age of this wine bottle? I can't make out the last number on the bottom of the bottle. It looks like a D. Also it is a screw top. I was able to use CLR on it to get the rust off and it worked pretty decent.:)

You can find alot of great info on glass bottle marks. Com... that's a owen Illinois mark... the 2 is Huntington wv... stippling on the bottom began in 1940 with that company... its random (done by hand) and not concentric (machine) so I'd say it's probably a 1940 bottle
