Hello all,
My name is Mike and I work with a nonprofit working at establishing a museum on the site of a former WWII camp. I do a lot of relic hunting (former incinerator sites, trash dumps etc) for artifacts for future displays. In my time out there, I've found quite a few bottles from the war and these are some of the most recent finds but I am unsure of their age.
I'm guessing by the code on the bottom, the Pepsi is from 1943 and the Coke bottle is from the 50s but I don't know about the others. Some I have never seen before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will try to post more pictures of my other finds soon.
