New to the forums. Lots of unknown bottles

[thebottlelady]

This bottle has two cute little handles on the sides. Seam goes all the way to the top. The bottom says Penick & Ford LTD. Inc and below that it has the number '2' a diamond and circle symbol, and then number '52' and a little ways past that the number '5'.

This one is probably nothing special, but it was shaped differently. Seam goes all the way to the top of the bottle. It's in a kind of wide octagon shape. on the bottom is the number '6' a 'P' in a circle and then the numbers '377'.

Last one for now. Probably another liquor bottle. Says "Full Pint" and then gives the Federal Law warning on one side. The other side has a shield with a large letters 'C' and 'D' overlapping and 'Co.' in the middle of the C and D. On the bottom it has 'D-8', '68', 'F' in a hexagon, and a '5'.

That is a syrup bottle circa 1950. Probably a Vermnt Maid or some other similated maple syrup.

The next one is either a pickle, chutney or Olive bottle.

The last is a whiskey flask. Clean them up and they will be keepers.

Thanks for sharing them.

One day I'll find something really nice. Just wanted to put these pics up. Random bottles. Maybe someone will recognize something valuable.

This is one of my favorites. The little glass stopper doesn't go with the tiny bottle. I wish I could find what it goes to. Hasn't fit anything yet. But the tiny bottle is maybe 1 inch tall and about 1 1/2 inches on each side. Perfume, perhaps?

Thanks for the info, Joel. Since the mansion was built of stone and brick, a lot of the bottles have scratches on them. I'm hoping to go back and dig up a few hundred more this weekend, tomorrow if I'm lucky. Found 36 cents in my driveway with the metal detector. Seems to be the only place where I can find something worth the effort. The ground around my house is full of iron and nails.[] I've got to totally clean out the back seat of my car and cover it with a sheet. I didn't realize I would find so many bottles or that they would be super-dirty. At least the ground is nice and wormy. Better than digging in Alaska!![:'(]

the little stopper you found would have originally had a cork around it and would have went to a whiskey flask. the short bottle next to it looks like an ink bottle

nice digs and happy hunting!

Yes by all means go deeper. there are older bottles there. You are just skimming the top.

If I can get my sister-in-law to baby sit for me, I'll be buried in dirt all day tomorrow. I might take my camera with me but I'm kinda afraid it might get lost. I wish I would have taken pics of the stone walls before I tore them apart. I nearly uprooted a tree trying to get a large bottle that was oddly under the roots of the tree above ground. It was like the tree grew over the bottle and encased it in roots. Sadly, it was broken and so are some large roots. As we left, my mother-in-law (who just couldn't stop herself from digging) moved to a different spot and found a franc and a 1943 nickel. She's determined to find all the dishes she can and piece them back together. I think she's a little obsessive, but then I do enjoy digging holes a little too much. I want to find something valuable so that I can do this as a full-time job. Isn't that a nice dream.[]
