Thanks for your input Spencer and Buster!

Buster-I saved that picture with the bottle to my Docs-My Pics and then blew it up, but still could'nt tell what the label said....

Julie, The best that I can make out from the label is that it is a Blackberry Cocktail Wine made by the LaSalle Wine company. Hope this helps.

Spencer, I'll post any updates from this dig. The brown gallon jug is probably a bleach. We sold similiar ones in my Dad's store in the 50's. Here is a pic of a coke syrup jug I found in the 60's part of the dump a few weeks back. It still has what appears to be some watered down syrup in it. should I clean it or leave it as I found it?

All the coke syrup jugs that I have seen were all clear. They had paper labels ( this one long gone) . Here's a close up of the cap.

well i figured most likely it was a vinegar like apple cider vinegar it could have been some other brand of syrup im with you all the CC jugs i have seen were clear

an early one just went on ebay for over $2200 it had the script logo on it

Someone asked why I call this a 1930's dump. I've been trying to find out how to date the Duraglas bottles. This site contained an unusual amount of these bottles. I located the following website which helps date the Duraglas bottles.

http://www.sha.org/research_resources/newsletter_articles/lockhart.htm

Using the information from this site and looking at the base of this beer bottle, there is a 2 to the right of the logo without a period. I'm assuming that would be 1932. Also note that the top and bottom bars of the "I" are upswung.

Using this same method of dating, any number to the right of the logo followed by a period would be in the 40s. So this bottle would be dated at 1943. Also notice that the top and bottom bar of the "I" are straight. I'll post any addition information on the dates of these bottles later. Hope this helps someone date a find.

Have you gotten to the bottom of this dump yet? I'm waiting to see how much older it gets.
