Here are 3 bottles /jug I pulled from the same dump some time ago the small blue one has VICKS embossed on the side The BROWN/TAN Jug has Nassua Seltzer etched on the side And the clear one has SYS KELLERSTRAUSS embossed on it It was from about 1900 to 1913 as far as a timeline . That was one of the first items I found when I started digging this site The volume and variety of old glass I pulled from that site is greater than all the other items I dug in my life time It was truly a once in a lifetime discovery

Nice going on the bottles-more detailed pictures are always welcomed.

This might be the clear embossed details.
It could turn amethyst if left in the sun.

Here's a super pretty amethyst 110 year old Kellerstrass whiskey bottle from Kansas City, Missouri...... KELLERSTRASS DISTILLING CO. KANSAS CITY,MO. U.S.A. REGISTERED DISTILLERS bold emb on front.... PATENT APPLIED FOR on bottom Hand blown.....cork top finish....round with panels around shoulder and base....decorated band underneath shoulder.....beautiful medium amethyst purple.....11 7/8"tall.

That certainly is a cool color I wonder if this one would also turn to that color if left in the sun Do you have any idea how long the change in color would take . Great tip thanks
