Many Bottles & Questions

[Kmincey77]

The kids and I went on a “treasure hunt” at my MIL’s home this weekend. We believe there use to be a distillery on her property at one time. This is what we found on our first dig. I know what some of these are but there are several I’m clueless about. I have included a couple to begin with. We also found 2 Coca Cola Bottles that I’ve been trying to research. Any info is helpful!

Off to the re-cycling center with those. Keep digging, but deeper.

Looks like mostly 1970's stuff.

We are not Out looking for some high dollar prize. My kids enjoyed digging for these and we were just curious. You should check out Pinterest, there are great ideas on repurposing old bottles instead of tossing them.

Is there a number on the bottom I can look at to date them?

On the one in the second photo the 75 could be a date code, but most of these the timeframe is based on the stippling on the base, which you see mostly on bottles from the 1960's and newer. The green alcohol bottle lacks the "Federal Law Prohibits" embossing so is after 1963.

I have several other alocohol bottles that state that. They are brown. I can post later.

I also have several blue milk of magnesia bottles.

These have the prohibited statement. I know clear bottles are pretty common. I can take pictures of the bottoms if it’s worth it.
