Found a few bottles that I wanted to keep today. I'll go left to right:

A Coca Cola - I think this is a syrup bottle. Anyone concur?

You can't see the lettering on this one, but it's a "Little Bo-Peep Ammonia" bottle. Funny name. First one I've seen, but from my research they're relatively common.

A little figurine bottle...Close-up in in next picture...

A plain ol' amber bottle...I just like these amber corks....

A milk of Magnesia bottle. I love the tone of blue on these. Only the second one I've found, though again I know they're common

A pretty blue ink, 2 oz

A perfume, I'm assuming.

Only dug for 25 minutes, so not a bad haul....

Here are the three smaller ones. Two of them I have questions on. Obviously the ink is an ink. I think it's a very pretty square ink!

Does anyone know about the "DEW" bottle. Looks like a little perfume.

The figurine I'm really curious about. A little brass screw cap at the bottom, it's a figure of a girl with a hoop skirt, a bonnet, and some flowers over her face, I think. Maybe it's just her hands over her face. Pretty unique find for me

Those cobalt cube inks are always nice to dig...pretty much cause they are blue. The one you found looks to be from the 1920's era....cool dig there....the others I have no idea about...but I am sure someone else on the forum may be able to help.

Hey Tim, What does the Coke bottle have embossed on it. There are quite a few nonscript stright sided Cokes out there. As a mater of fact there are literally thousands of different SS Coke bottles.

Yeah, I've seen lots of examples of cokes like these. This is the only complete one I've found like this. It says "Coca Cola Bottling Co Mt Vernon Ohio"

I've not tried to check the value on it

Sweet finds Yooper!!! Never found a figural. Always wanted to find one. One guy found a nice bim shoe in the dump I'm digging. Keep up the great finds. Coke might be worth some dough. Robert

Yeah Tim it's a coke not a flavor bottle. There are some rare clear cokes but most of them bring $20 to $30. Not like them dang Waxahatchee Cokes {$100 to $225}that only come up when I'm broke. I do manage to score a rare one from time to time.

See what you can find out about it's worth and history. Some Coke bottlers were very colorful dudes. If you dig another or decide to dump yours give me a heads up.

Cool figural Tim. Looks like it was part of something else. Keep looking for something it went in.
That or a lightbulb?
