| A Great Group of Bottles Recently Found by Blog Reader William B. |
Will said he started bottle hunting a little over a year ago after I posted one of my bottle finds. Here is how he described a recent hunt.
I found two mini blob tops with the wire still in the bottle. And another blob top on the brown beer bottle. I think the ketchup bottle is early 1900s. It is machine made, as the seam goes over the finish. The old aqua beer bottle it’s probably late 1800s. I have found a whole bunch of those, with a variety of finishes including cork and the early crown finishes that were applied by hand. I still have to research the other brown beer bottle with the swing top. I can’t even figure out what the name says. It’s not a really old bottle, but I don’t think it’s that new either. Then there’s the toilet water bottle which I still have to look up and a 10 ounce Pepsi. The small brown medicine bottle is machine made.
I have amassed an amazing collection of bottles in a fairly short time. Of unbelievable variety. Round bottom bottles, old inkwells from the 1800s, an iv drip bottle from a hospital, dozens and dozens of medicinal and food apothecary bottles. Embossed beer and soda bottles, straight sided soda bottles, insulators, marbles, and bottle stoppers. And on and on. I still have to do research on many of the apothecary bottles. Again, thank you for pushing me into the river. Enjoy the pics.
