There are clear amber or yellow from that era too in other country(s). Considering the bottles you have in same shape and colors there might to be similar in USA. It's a rare color to me but I guess if you look for it well you'll find some staff.Al
Yes, I had found this image on line showing the different colors of glass used for this style bottle.WW2-USA-Beer-soda-g.-X-42.jpg

Surface finds, here is my favorite cobalt bottle. Found this one in 2005 here in Maine behind a stone wall along an old county road. Looks like a beer. Bottom embossed " A.B.G.M. Co/I/ BELLEVILLE/ ILL " believe the company embossed their bottles this way between 1899-1905. Must have been high quality glass, no stains after 100 years lying out in the weather. Second photo shows other bottles from the surrounding leaves.

It doesn’t have to be valuable or rare it could even have damage Im just curious to see what you guys have found for beer bottles laying on the surface. No dug bottles, surface finds only!

Here’s my favorite. Found it on the surface last fall with maybe 10 or so other aqua beers mainly from Detroit, MI all were shattered into pieces and somehow this one survived...
