Little, thanks for posting a picture of the bottles. It looks like they mostly date from the 1930s-1950s. I didn’t see any that were worth more than a dollar except for that blue perfume bottle and the green Gum bottle. It looks like most of your bottles are medicine and food bottles. The good ones you need to find are the ones with cork tops and have embossed words on the front. Most diggers started out digging that age of dump and then over the years moved on to older and older bottles.

thanks bottleman. some do have writing embossed but i think cause of the light, u cant see it. not sure if it ups value or not; A1 cause bottle sais THE A1 SAUCE, some medecine have the embossing of the measuring up the sides, the jr watkins have swirly things etc.. the whiskey flasks say NOT TO BE USED FOR SALE etc from prohibition period, and some others. i was more wondering what those tiny ones were worth if anything cause they seem to be hard to look up online. and in bottle books i fond mostly big bottles but the small ones in there dont look like mine. but also, i know about the seaming, and alot of these are hand blown no doubt. I will poist a pic later of the one i found a few days ago at a lawnsale of all places...its about two inches high, looks like a tiny brown whiskey bottle, not jug, has clearly been hand blown, and has a flaw from when i believe it was pulled out of the mold, but its so cute. ill post it later. most of what ive posted, im sure is common. ive got big trash barrels of tons more from this one dump. im just bringing a few up at a time and posting them. my son would knock em down otherwise, lol. Take care and let me know more when and if u can! thanks!

RE: two inch small bottle. anyone know what it is?

Here's the little one I found. hand blown cause seam only goes up to below screw part. Next pic below shows flaw in it. From when it was being made, not a chip or anything. Its a flaw from coming ut of mold or something. anyone know what it is?

Here's the flaw. It's a soft and rounded indent/push in. The only embossing on the bottle is a single number 6 on the bottom.
