Hello Jason,Lordbud said:Several bottlers sold both beer and soda water. Your Eureka California bottle would have likely held a brew of some sort such as Hard Cider -- although it is embossed otherwise. TOC dumps in California often contain very nice embossed bottles courtesy of PCGW manufacturing bottles the old fashioned way up through the early 1920s. Hutches were still in common use in SF up until the 1906 Earthquake. Embossed tooled crown top bottles were used throughout the 1910s and can have some decent crudity as well. Are you digging bay landfill or a creekbank dump?
Interesting. The amber color on the Eureka bottle does seem to indicate something other than soda water contents.The Chevalier flask is embossed PCGW on the base.Not landfill I'm pretty sure. Not a creekbank either. Flat topography with patches of bottles and trash. Uneven distribution of material. It's a weird spot.
