We tilled a garden and were hoping to plow up some artifacts, no.
So, I took pictures of the spring finds. Enjoy and Happy Hunting.
I am hoping someone knows of these...Gibson, Indian guy and The other clear one, a leparchan? The Indian one we bought. Anyone know?

Hello Rockfish, I think the one with the little fellow on it is a "Brownie" soda. Is there a city or state listed on it? These bottles were from NY, MD, WV, VA, and produced from the late 40s to the early 50s. I like the brown bottle in the background...what is it?

RE: Gibson

I took another pic of the Gibson bottle. On the bottom it says Danville, Virginia on one side, Gibson Bottling Company on the other. Nothing on the bottom. Have you seen these?

I've seen the Gibson before usually about $8.00...and I have the Brownie...Yours is missing the ACL. Not familiar with the Good Luck.

Brownie Bottle

G,
Thanks for the info on the Brownie Bottle. I will have to research it now.
I am guessing the brown bottle, really clear, you asked about, is the Gibson? I am lazy about cleaning, but did find Bar Keepers at True Value, yeah.

oh, I've also seen the Indian or variations of it...can't recall the brand name...
Because of the Indian head profile, sellers usually ask about $20 for one in nice condition.

Here is an early version I have of a brownie bottle unfortunately it has several large chips in it but only one I have ever seen. I like that good luck bottle. It should be a good one i know the caps are general sought after

ROCKFISH...yes, but - mainly local whiskeys and Patent Medicines/druggists before 1920. Although ,as is often the case: I have some from other places.
