If I was in construction I would get fired for bottle hunting!

Here are the rest. My favorite is the tall skinny one. Any idea on age of that one?

 

[Bass Assassin]

I was looking at all these great bottles and felt something on my cheek. It was drool. Get a shovel and get in there and dig that gray ashy area now!!!!

Some look as old as 1870's & some as new as 1940's possibly like the Dow Paper labels but I'm not as familiar with Canadian beer labels as USA beer labels? I love the Stoneware Pottery Ginger Beers, those are Nice. Killer finds. I'd be back there digging all day if I could, All week if possible. Some good stuff. Congrats, LEON.

This one might look possibly 1870's or newer. LEON.

The Whelan Ferguson Ginger Beer was made between 1894 & 1926 & worth about $50. The W.H. Donavan Ginger Beer was made between 1890 & 1918 & worth about $50. Hope this helps. LEON.

What's that blue badge? Is that a chauffeur badge? If so those can be sometimes be really prized by automobilia collectors.

 

[George]

From what I understand the badge went on the front grill of a car to show membership in an auto club. I believe early 1900"s. Does anyone know if the tall skinny bottle I'm holding with the steering wheel in background is hand blown ?

That's a sauce bottle, I believe-- something like Worcestershire. They all look about the same--1890s I think:
The mouth will have been hand-tooled in most. The closure-type was specifically a cork-glass stopper for sauce bottles.
