Tucker Philadelphia Bottle

I did a search in NEWSPAPER dot com and found listings for them from 1911-1920. Fits about right for a machine crown bottle.

Nemasket?

You can't go on listings. You have to look for COMPLETED sales. That is the ONLY way to search.

WTS Amber beer bottles 60’s

Thanks for the photos. Not quite what I'm looking for. Just a bit later than what I'm seeking.

Does anyone have photos of NYC area porcelain stoppers? I'm trying to document as many as possible.

GRAVITATING STOPPER FROM THE 1860s. POSSIBLE FIND OF A LIFETIME?

This is a MATTHEWS bottle that is local to me. It also has the same embossing on the base as I believe all do.

Pontil or smooth base

I have a bottle with a similar indentation. It sure looks like yours. It appears like my bottle & your bottle have been tumble polished. Possible not done correctly and the unprotected pontil was removed by the process.

Beer bottles

Those are around 1905ish. The NY is a pretty decent example as there is a dedicated following for AnheuserBusch beer bottles. The Pabst is a fairly easy one to find as many have survived. They are great examples of days gone by.

Not a bottle

A log splitting wedge for sure.
