First off, I just want to say that I am really new to bottle hunting. As in I just started. I found my first and only collection of bottles (or junk) about a month ago and forgot about it. There was more, but I couldn't carry them all. I only brought my two arms and hands unfortunately. Then I started doing some research, which was tricky at first. I have a few bottles I can't Identify, so I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on a rookie bottle hunter.

So as to not overload the good members of the forum with too much pictures or information at once, I'll only provide a few bottles at a time.

All I've gathered from this bottle, is that it is probably a soft-drink, which was made in Baltimore. I don't know exactly if it's possible to date, and or what the numbers at the bottom were used for.

The other bottle that I'll upload at the moment, is what I think to be a Tabasco sauce bottle from PJ Ritters. Not entirely sure about the date however.

Thank you for any help in advance! I have some other odd end bottles that I can identify. Once I take pictures, hopefully someone here can shed some light on them!

Hello Federal,

Welcome to the Blue Pages. Your PJ Ritter has an Owens mark, but I cannot see the date / plant code. You did not mention the size. It could be a Tabasco, but the finish looks more catsupy.

Wait, I know, Tabasco flavored catsup...
