Found this interesting bottle while hiking in the woods near a old can dump sight. What is it and maybe a year? There is a deep groove on the bottom as well.

I see you said Old Can Dump Sight? What kind of old Cans? Any Old Beer Cans. If so I could date those much more easily & accurate then this Bottle. Let me know. THANKS, LEON.


P.S. Welcome to the sight.

Reminds me of a type of poison bottle that was used in the 1930s-50s. Never seen one of these before though.
Also as Leon said, keep an eye out for drink cans with the two triangles punched in the top, or cone top cans. Even when totally rusted they can be restored if they're mostly intact.

I have seen many beer cans on my searches but they are always rusted to where you can hardly see the label's or nothing at all but rust. I mostly look for unique bottles.

If you soak the rusted cans in citric acid (lemon juice) the rust will come off and the label will be visible again.
