Keep on hunting, and digging, a prize could be sticking out of a creek bank! Just remember to dig and not snatch it out! My digging buddies son did that last week, and in his excitement left the neck to a very valuable soda in the bank.
Jamie; The first thing to do is - look at the top closure glass section of the bottle. If it has vertical seams on it - it was made on an ABM, Automatic Bottle Machine. If it was it doesn't have value.Bottles that were hand blown on a blow pipe Have value - they will also have a pontil mark on the bottom, caused by the devise used to hold them. RED M.
Don't believe that just because it is a machine made bottle it isn't valuable!!!!! There a lot of 1930s thru 60s painted label, or embossed soda bottles that are quite valuable, some of the art deco style sodas are very valuable. and that looks like what you may find in your wanderings. early seven up, coca cola and pepsi bottles are worth some bucks, mostly those in the 1910 to 1950s range in age.....So keep lookin..........Andy
Jamey if you get the time there is a forum here called Sodas, painted label, embossed etc etc, click on it and read some of the past posts for some ideas of what soda bottles to look for and there relative value............Andy
a historical object most represent a person place or thing ( the glass or clay bottle in this case . ) with historical information . a bottle is just a bottle with out it.
