    im in sudbury and i found over 150 bottles from between 1940 to 1960s.i live in sudbury if anyone wants to help me identify them and buy them70558651

    Hi Dave - welcome to the site. If you post pictures we can probably help identify some of them for you, but many bottles from this time period are more-or-less unidentifiable without their original paper labels. Furthermore, bottles of this time period generally don't have a lot of value, maybe...

    @hiker @Jackierobinson12588 hate to break it to y'all, but this thread was originally started almost 20 years ago and the original poster hasn't been seen around here in 4 years.

    Bayer Aspirin bottle or something else?

    The shape is the exact same as that of Bayer aspirin children's size bottles - I dig these often in 50s and 60s dumps. I've noticed a lot of them have oddities in the glass - usually in the form of uneven thickness, scratch/scar marks on the sides, and elongated/misshapen bottom marks. I wonder...

    Dump Discoveries - Two separate dumps, one location - one 1920s/30s, one 40s-60s

    Seems to be se - the bridge that spanned this spot had been here since at least the 1870s or 1880s, so very possible that older layers are washing out - next to this bottle was an aqua blob top soda - sadly with a hole punched out of the back and a slick (with just the "this bottle not to be...

    Dump Discoveries - Two separate dumps, one location - one 1920s/30s, one 40s-60s

    Continued: T. Noonan & Co., Boston, Mass. Some kind of hair/barber product. Bunch of common jars - French's, unbranded ink, Carter's ink (about 1/4 full), and a Vaseline. this, by far, was the find of the day! After posting on a local group I was informed that this is a pretty rare bottle...

    Dump Discoveries - Two separate dumps, one location - one 1920s/30s, one 40s-60s

    With the last week off I was able to visit this site a few times, though early in the week finds were minimal as I was confined to the more modern dump - the standard Vicks and Noxzema jars, national-brand sodas (Nesbitt's, KIST, Pepsi), and other strange shape/design bottles that I end up...

    Need help and info on these two

    I'd definitely go with 1977 based on the single number. Most 60s O-I bottles I've found were still using the 2-digit code, and I believe they started dropping the two-digit again by the 70s. Based purely on the shape I'm thinking some kind of household cleaner - bleach, detergent, etc. Here's...

    Beginner Question - Price Guide?

    CanadianBottles, as always, hit the nail right on the head here. I'm not familiar with the insulator world, but I sell and list plenty of the bottles that I find - which are mostly from the 30s through the 60s, and have almost no established value. Some of the more popular bottles - sodas from...

    identify these 2 bottles

    I'd have to agree with CanadianBottles here - I feel like that cobalt blue bottle is actually pretty new. It even has knurling/stippling (I believe that's the right term) on the base, and that would put the bottle post-1940, when the Owens Co. invented the process. These are the little...

    New from NH

    Welcome! I'm from over in neighboring Maine! Many of the issues you may be running in to with finding out what a bottle was used for may be age - bottle collectors in the past haven't really cared about anything newer than the 1930s, so often little research has been done on bottles from the 40...

    Dump Discoveries - Two separate dumps, one location - one 1920s/30s, one 40s-60s

    Ah! It seems they made a ton of different styles of this, with various minor applications. I'm sure I could find a replacement spring - the piece is otherwise in great conditions aside from a little rust staining in a few spots. Thanks for finding this!

    Dump Discoveries - Two separate dumps, one location - one 1920s/30s, one 40s-60s

    Got out for a very wet, muddy session this past week - needed to get out after weeks of very poor weather. Some nice finds this time too - here are some of the best! Two Father John's Medicines (two sizes), A "Linit", "Perma Starch", and LESTOIL at the back. The one on the right is a Pierre...

    I can't find this clear green bottle information.

    Basing it purely on the color and shape I'm thinking some kind of mineral or soda water, but others may have another opinion. Can you post a picture of the seam as it reaches the neck - this will help date the bottle. As Leon said above, being a slick and without a makers mark identifying the...

    Purex and eagle

    Agree with Hezezilla above, right around 1960. Purex is a laundry detergent (still sold today), the Eagle bottle is hard to tell - maybe like a juice?
