35' and 37'? Owens bottles?
The 35' is Owens. I don't know about the other. It's a no deposit bottle if that matters

Stubby's, the first style of NDNR beer bottles, both you found are 11oz bottles, the ring around the mid-neck area was an indicator for 11oz bottles mostly sold in western states, looks like one is from '35 and the other from '37..... ;)

Nope, quite rare and moderately valuable. Some of the first “No Deposit” bottles to exist. Worth probably $30 each.

Really?!
But to who is the question..

Couldn't find any online, figured they're just not worth anything lol.

I'll have to go back, I tossed and buried some.

Auction or buy it now?
How much?

I thought they were pretty much worthless due to a lack of sales related info, but I guess you never know...

They are neat, and due to the one being a no deposit bottle, it certainly wasn't meant to be around this long.


I love digging and finding

Put it on ebay starting at $1.00 & no reserve & see how much it gets? LEON.
Leon, you made me chuckle. Shipping expenses will run more than these are worth together. No real value other than possible reuse for home brewing if you can get them clean enough. If you could find beer labels from the period, they would be perfect for displaying the labels. Nostalgia/Novelty is the true value.

I know but Clayton seems to have him convinced they are worth $30 each. Putting them on ebay for $1.00 & seeing how high the bids (if there are any) go should answer the Question of Value. LEON.
