Dump site stuff....

[CousinEddie]

When back to the bottle dump I found and did some more raking/sifting. These were todays keepers...:

Not sure what the cap is for
French's Mustard Spoon/Guy
Small medicine bottle...: First green one I have found
Big Brown Bottle...: This is the biggest in tact bottle I have found so far. Any ideas as to age? Use? Reads Federal Law Forbids The Sale Or Reuse Of This Bottle....I'm guessing it's a beer bottle. Just not sure of the age. Can't be too old...

the glass is getting closer to 1900 era CE :cheering:

Sounds more like a poison bottle.

Cool...Thanks Del! So the bottles are roughly early 1900's?

Interesting info on my spoon. I thought it was from the 1960's. Turns out it's from 1935, haha!! I have the same patent as the spoon on Ebay.

brown bottles are traditionally beer or spirits , bitters or whiskey , i would say yours is probably a beer bottle . show a good closeup of the bottom and i may be able to narrow it down some . bottles were first hand blown and then they had applied lips ( sheared ,rolled or tooled) put on . early bottles had what they called a pontil scar ( thats where another glass blower would add melted glass to his blow tube and adhere it to the bottom of the bottle so the first glassblower couls make the mouth piece) this was done up until the ABM ( automatic bottle machine) around 1903 . i believe your bottles are from atleast this time period.

Thank you for all the info Del!! Here are some pics. In the 2nd pic you'll notice what looks like a glob of dripping glass to the left on the mouth of the bottle...:

Congrats on some nice digs, WTG |:cheering:

after seeing the bottom of the brown one its definately after 1903 and probably more closer to the 20's-30's but like Dave said dumps usually have their newest stuff on top and the deeper you dig the older it gets .
