Man Guys I have hit a jackpot! A friend of mine has a piece of property near an old grist mill that has been in his family for generations and a long time ago a 2 lane hwy with so little traffic we call it a back road was built and people have been throwing bottles out their windows for around 50 years. Not to mention the several old home places that were once there along with a flour and grist mill dating back to mid 1800’s we are finding bottles from all kinds of decades a good bit of 1930’s and 40’s. Some I cannot even identify because they are so old they have to be blown bc they have bubbles and a pointal mark but no words. My friend found a Marvelous Coke bottle I found various other bottles and we haven’t even broken the ice!

Looks like you've got at least one spot there with some good age, not from the pontil era but some of them are indeed blown. Probably from around the 1890s-1910s.
I'm curious about that teal bottle with the glass stopper, did you dig that? I can't tell if it's modern decorative glass or a fancy antique bottle, if it is antique that's a great find.

Is that crown top soda in front of the clock have any embossing besides registered? Definitely good potential there as it does look like there is late 1800s stuff coming out.
