My first find ever! Only a few weeks ago

[dcoffin5]

hi SeaGlass,
I'm new collecting too. This forum has a ton of info. I'm in Del, where are you?

Congrats on those first finds. Similar to mine... surface of a farm dump 1940's & 50's.

Keep on diggin' !

yes lets see the pix of the bottom

Here are some images of the bottom of the brown whiskey bottle.


@blobbottlebob, thanks for the comments. All of those questions do come across my mind whenever I find an old object. I'm a big fan of history and digging up your own small piece of history is exciting to me. Thanks again.

And to everyone else who left a welcome, thank you for that. By the way I am from California.

So yesterday I found another green wine bottle nearly identical to the first one I found. The only difference being is the style of the tops/mouths. The first image is a comparison of the different tops.

Welcome Sub, it only gets worse! I mean the addiction [8D]

Here are some shots of my other finds. I found most of these only a few days after my first find and a lot of them I found on the same day.

Here is a shot of a jar that was once used for baked beans.

Bottom shot:

An old Bayer aspirin bottle. Please excuse the dirt, this thing had roots growing inside and haven't had a chance to clean it properly. It says "The Bayer Co Div."

Next up is a bottle that I have no idea what it's original purpose was. My fiance suggested it's a perfume oil bottle of some kind.

Thanks for checking it out fellas.

RICKJJ59W you have no idea, there's no turning back. I'm a bottle digger forever now haha.



*On a side note, my images are too long. Sorry guys I'll fix 'em later.

I think that last one with the wavy sides is a vanilla extract bottle...

Funny you should mention that because on the same day I found a Schilling's bottle of the same color, no wavy sides, but I assumed it was a vanilla extract bottle. Didn't post it because it wasn't too exciting but you're probably right.
