Job Site Find ! I'm addicted !!

Not a collector by any means, till last week. The job I'm working on turned up some pretty cool bottles. I have no clue what a lot of them are or what they were use for. I know they are old maybe late 60's early 70's it's a good place to start. It started with one cool looking bottle with stems and leaves running up the sides of the bottle, I couldn't stop they are just cool. Here's a few pictures of what I dug up with my excavator.

My favorite bottle has to be the Martinelli's Apple Bottle...

Also so can someone tell me what the 3 top looking things are, the are hollow, used to measure something may be?

The two with the city's stamped on the bottom, are 6oz, I also have one that's 6.5 oz as well? Don't know what this means?

Hi, base markings and numbers can often give a date. The 'apple' looks like a form of "PRIOF" closure but they were used for sometime and with various improvements.
The 3 you mention look like perfume but I'm not familiar with that top.

The 6 oz Cokes were made between 1951-1957, The 6.5 oz was made between 1958-65. The actual date should be in very small letters on side of the bottle 3/4 way down from top. LEON.

Thanks you both for the info. I know the location I'm working at was an old dump that closed sometime in the 70's. Is there a web site I can use to decode the numbers stamped on the bottom of the bottles I have with no markings?

thanks again...

they all look like from the late 1940 to mid 1960s . the coke's are the only bottle that people collect from that time . oh the three top things are glass stoppers from whiskey decanters . you have them up side down.
