Hey Guys (and Gals?),
I'm new to the Forum and new to bottle finding/collecting, but I wanted to share a couple photos of some recent finds. I do not have the bottles here with me at the moment so I cannot provide any better shots beyond these iPhone photos, but you get the idea.
I've been finding mostly round bottoms (both smooth and embossed with various "Belfast" names) which I know are very common and nearly worthless as well as many torpedo bottles which are almost all smooth, but I did find two that are embossed with a New York name. These last two are blob top and of the what I guess would be called the "ten pin" type as they do have a very small flat spot on the bottom although the overall profile is torpedo.
The photo below is what I believe to be the oldest of the bottles I have found with the nicest being the Davenport and Co. soda on the left. The bottle on the right is from NJ from what I could find online.
I will post a couple shots of the torpedos and round bottoms just to give an idea of what I've found.
I look forward to any comments you may have an apologize in advance if this stuff is too mundane or my pictures not sufficient to warrant any comment...
