Hello All,
This is my first post on the site. I signed up today. I mostly lurk and look at bottles other people find. Looking at so many good bottles motivated me to get access to a site I dug in the past. Last week I went there with my cousin and we found some decent bottles. It seems that the ages of the stuff we dig there ranges from 1890's to about 1914.
I found three decent Owls. I don't know how to date Owls but these look like an older style. The biggest one stands 7 5/8". The middle one is 5 1/2". These two have "The Owl Drug Co" embossed on the back.
The one on the right is almost 6 1/2". It is the strange one. I can't find any images of Owl bottles online that match the shape. Two other guys who have dug many owls said they have never seen anything quite like it. If it was un-embossed I would guess it was a pepper sauce bottle. The sides are concave vertically. It does not have "The Owl Drug Co" embossed on the back. Has anyone seen an Owl bottle like this one before?
Thanks,
Steve
