Just 2 bottles I need help Identifying!

[Furryinabottle]

Sorry for the terrible camera quality. Anyways! I'm new to bottle collecting, and I have these 2 bottles that are quite the hassle to find stuff about!

The first is made by Anchor Hocking, is a 2 part mould, and a screw-top. I believe it may be a little older than the 80's, as the logo is a H with an anchor going through it.

The second may be a local milk bottle. It was made by Thatcher Glass Manufacturing, and has a large C on the bottom, along with a 42 and the MTC logo. It's a 3 part mould, with a stop top. The printed text has worn away, leaving just a "shadow" of it on the glass, and it's half-readable in the light. The front says "PROTECTED MILK Sealed in cellophane" and the back looks like it says "CLOVER Dairy Progress, PA" with small clover designs. I'd love to see the bottle intact! If anyone knows how old they are or what they were supposed to look like, please let me know!

Welcome to the forum! The milk is from 1942. The other bottle is a generic general-purpose household bottle, could have held anything really. It dates from roughly the same era as the milk.

Thank you! This is a big help!

The large C is to help them sort the bottles after cleaning back to the right local dairy bottler. C for clover. Thatcher bottle from 1942. Lots of good info on milk bottles and thatcher online like this link.

the H with the anchor is Homer Laughlin China Co.

The H with the anchor is the mark of 'Homer Laughlin China Co. and the dates of that could be from 1926 to the present

I believe you're mistaken; the anchor with an H in the middle is almost certainly Anchor Hocking. I tried to research "Homer Laughlin China Co." and could find very limited information; based on the name of the company I assume they made dishware/chinaware, and likely would not be making glass bottles. I believe the one that the OP posted was likely some sort of extract or flavoring bottle.

For more information on glass marks, I suggest https://glassbottlemarks.com/

I probably was wrong because they do do the china, etc. The initials were pretty much on the mark tho.
