Hi yes, I am SO glad I found this forum! I've been on a river glass hunting-kick lately and would love to know more about the bottles I am finding.
Here is my first one. Found in the Blanchard River in Hancock County, Ohio. It's about 3.5 inches tall and a little less than an inch and a half wide. There is a pretty thick lip around the top. It has the numbers "14" and "2" on the bottom (looks like 04 2 in the photos). There are seams on the sides that goes up through the lip, which indicates it's a post-1900 bottle. It's flat on one side and then curved slightly upward on the other.
My dad is an auctioneer who works with antiques, and he thinks it's an old medicine bottle. But from what year? And what could it have been used for? I'm genuinely curious. All guesses are appreciated, thank you!
