River diving in Northern California. Lots of recycling, old slicks, but two of the slicks were interesting.

The saki-bin bottle (common) fell apart on cleaning and did not make the cut. (along with a bunch of other bottles that made their way from river to recycling

The square bottle on the left is T-O Chilli mix from a UK company, said to cure everything and used as a mixer as well. It warns the user about filling their own version. The dating is 1917 -- 1940, manufactured in San Francisco. Unfortunatly the rear right corner is gone.

The Clorox bottle is 1929-1930 Illinois Pacific Glass Corp. Vernon CA.

The earthen jar is hand made Chinese food storage TOS.

One slick is an ale bottle, turn mold with extruded seam, bottom has a crude x and applied top -- likely 1850-1860 (?).

The other looks to be a European wine or ale bottle, turn mold and applied top -- late 19th

C. Lea & Perrins Worcester Sauce 1850-1910 hand made by John Duncan & Sons San Francisco.

The Wood-Curtis bottle is some sort of vegetable sauce (they were a produce company) made by Pacific Coast Glass Co. San Francisco 1919-1926.

The common medicine bottle is from Owens Glass Co, Charleston WVa 1923.

Also an Illinois Glass Co. No. 2 Lyric medicine bottle (separate picture)

Any information or corrections welcome

Which bottle were you saying is from the 1850s-60s? I do not see one in the group that would fit that era, though nice finds none the less.
