New here with a few questions

[nerdling]

I found these bottle at an Indian War era fort. One was kicked out of a badger hole. Which then led us to start digging there and discover the dump for the fort. We ran out of time and only dug for awhile but did come up with a few nice ones. Along with 25 eagle buttons. I'm not very good with bottles so any help would be helpful

This one is embossed with Boston Burnett on the sides.

I've been told this is a peppersauce bottle.

Is this a wine bottle? This was the first intact one that came out of the ground. Only about 1 foot down. It looks like they just pushed the trash over the small hill so it was out of sight.

This was the one that was kicked out of a badger hole. Its not embossed or anything but it sure is neat looking.

It definately looks like a peppersauce to me your green one is a wine we find them all the time usually just throw them back in the pit but they are a pretty color your embossed one is probably a keeper but the "slicks" are just nice to look at they dont have any real value I would keep digging there, there is probably alot more than ya think if its a good dated dump.
is the bottom of your first one pontiled?

Thanks for the information. I honestly can't really remember as they are still at my father's place where the dump is located.

Welcome to the Site Nerdling(like your name....good one![])

Age is on your side to maybe find some great bottles there......keep going back until there's no glass left to uncover. That first photo is a great schoolhouse ink(too bad it's broken)...I have a book that shows that one sold in 2002 for $300.00

That is definitely worth going back to dig some more.

Good luck finding some really good ones.....You can post more photos of any others you might find and we can help you with info on them.
