It took 4 years but finally found a Trenton crown top that's not a Kerns. Apple Green Mercer bottling works.

Detector(s) used
Started with a Minelab xterra 505. Then Equinox 600 with stock coil, xl coil and sinper coil depending on circumstances. Now use a manticore.
Primary Interest:
Metal Detecting
Stopped at a bottle spot I know today. Climbed in a few tight spaces.

I have Trenton NJ milks, apothecary bottles and two E. L. Kerns crown tops, but I've never been able to find a whole Trenton crown top that wasn't a Kerns. This one is early machine made and not a tool top crown top but really crudely done. The glass has a lot of bubbles 🫧 and it's a clunky bottle. I will say they are usually aqua or clear. I've never see this color in all the broken parts of them I've found.

Other finds:
Patented August 23 1900 jar lid. Seems to be a cigar jar lid.
Aqua canning jar top
Tool top mini bottle
Turn mold screw top
machine made shoe polish bottle
