I gambled this week and picked up another bottle collection. There were abut fifty bottles all individually wrapped in newprint. I did a quick check of a couple and figured the works had to be worth the $40 the fellow was asking. When I got home I went through them and found about half weren't worth the paper they were wrapped in. However, there was a nice embossed Gold Seal by Coca-Cola, a Fernie Brewing Company beer bottle with label and a few embossed U.S. bottles. I was kind of hoping for some older soda bottles but no luck there. Two of the bottles were these strange round bottomed ones. While I have a few round bottomed soda bottles, these looked totally different. Checking on what is being sold on the internet I found descriptions ranging from the 1850's to the 1950's. They look too new for me so the oldest I think they are is the 1950s. Does anyone know anything at all about them?
