What did I find?

[xjeslesx]

Hello all! I'm new to the board and would help identifying some bottles I found while scuba diving. If you have any info on these please let me know.

The believe the first container is a milk bottle. It says Lovelace Bros, Peabody, Registered, and on the back is the letter K with a circle around it.

The second container may also be a milk bottle. It says Noble's on both sides.

Third, I'm not sure but I'm guessing this is the oldest. This bottle is the size of a common 12oz soda however it does not indicate size on the bottle. There is no writing, numbering etc.. on the bottle. The seams goes up the side to the middle of the neck. The top seems to be hand made, as it is oddly shaped. The bottom has an odd circle that seems to show on both the inside and outside of bottle. Also, this bottle is very heavy, compared to what you would expect of a bottle of its size to weigh.

Any information would be really apprciated.

Thanks, Jes

Milk bottle?

#1 milk bottle from Massachusetts. I have been told that the K was to designate cream and not milk, but not 100% sure of that. Either way it's amilk bottle. Could be $1 or $1000. Too far out of my area.

#3 milk or juice bottle. Probably juice. Again, too far out of my area.

#2 is a multi-purpose bottle, I've seen them labeled for beer and for malted milk..ca. 1880-1910..

welcome to the forum
you will get a lot of info from this site but for now
I cant help too much with the milks except that normally round bottom milks are pre 1930.
interesting soda type bottle, no markings at all? colors are unique will it wash off or is it the color.like cyber digger said maybe a multi use bottle
going by this website
http://www.antiquemedicines.com/bottletypes/bottletypes.htm
it looks like a applied blob top with a graphite pontil base dating around 1840's to 70's not an expert but I did stay at a holiday inn(ok that was lame)
judge for yourself
here is another helpful site

Hello xjeslesx, I am glad to see your pictures of some bottles. I am most interested in the tall bottle with the unique colored bottom with what I would call a unique formation also. This bottom form and the colors in the glass are different than any I have seen. I would like to examine this bottle someway, so if you are selling it please let me know.
The colors indicate to me that the gather of glass to make it was from the top of a batch melt that was not ready to be used for making bottles. The form of the bottom looks like it was a machine formed bottom plate to the mold assembly. I have to feel that the seams and forming methods need some closer examination.
