I only dug for about an hour or so because of some rain, but came up with some decent finds. The left one is a Cloverdale bottle with a clover embossed on the bottom and another Perrier on the right

A couple of ACLs. The broken one is a Berkeley Club soda from the 1940's and a Royal Crown from the late 1930's.

This is the best find of the day. A Christmas coke from Leesburg, Virginia. This is a rare one because the Coke plant in Leesburg was only open for 4 years until it burned down around 1940 or so.

The larger one is an Atlas Mason and the other is a Ball Perfect.

Now the smalls. The small bottle is for a doll and it says Doll-E-Toys by Amsco (1950). A nice chain is in the background and the small marble on top has cool blue swirls and has air bubbles in it, but I don't think it's blown.

This one is actually my first whole one. The one from D.C. a while back was cracked and two others from Winchester, VA has the tops broken off.

I was just guestimating there...and I guess I was wrong [:D]. But I do know that the Leesburg plant was in the trasition period from Christmas cokes to D-patents because I have a D-patent from there as well. The patent date on the coke says Dec. 25 1923.
