Some neat old bottles I mucked around for at the shore in an area that has a history dating back to the early 1800's. From about 1850-1950 it was also used as a landfill - a fact that is very evident from the artifacts present there.
Most of these bottles are from the early 1900's.
I only spent about 15 minutes actually collecting bottles, the rest of the time I spent walking to and from the site (through mud over a foot deep in some places).
The good news is there was so much snow-melt this year that the water runoff into the ocean really helped excavate the long encased bottles.
Fresh from the mud:
Still kinda dirty, but alot cleaner:
Really cool art Deco bottle:
"Clean" sorta:
Wilson Booze bottle:
White porcelain bottle::
A very nice green "Sunsweet" water bottle:
Chipped ink well:
And part of a glass rotary telephone bottle, no idea really
