Is this anything?

This is one of several I came across while planting alongside the silo, most the caps are either loose or gone, and some have hair line cracks. I downloaded Picasa but don't know how to use it to make picture smaller, help please?

Hey Lucy, Welcome to the forum! Ginger beers are quite collectable. Some are worth more than others monatarily (like all bottles.) Cracks will devalue a bottle about as quick as anything. Gingers are not my field, but I bet if some of our UK or Aussie members see this, they can tell you what you 've got. Looks like a nice little keeper to me![] Happy Diggin, Kelley

Great finds! Your bottles are catalogued in "Ginger Beer and Root Beer Heritage," by Don and Betsy Yates, as NY-105. New York had the greatest number of different ginger beer bottles, at 151. Your bottles were used between 1895 and 1906. Value, without cracks (having stoppers or not) is listed as $50-$75. Congratulations!

I busted/cracked several of these thinking it was tiles from silo. So far I have seven in reasonably good shape. More to come.

This one from House Bros, Rochester, NY

Murphy Bros, Syracuse, NY

Great finds Lucy. I hope you find heaps more. Ginger beers are always a great bottle to add to your collection. Try to leave the stoppers as complete as possible if they have them.

The House Bros. bottle is from 1888-1932. It's worth $35-$50. Any others that are different?
