here are my latest collections, All of these came from a constructions site. Lots of broken ones. I do not the value of any, most I think are not worth much and the plain ones will probably get tossed one day.
I like the Milk of Magnesia, holy water, Avon car, and Murine bottles ... but my all time favorite is the 6-1/2 oz Dr Pepper!

Any information on these are always appreciated

Thank you for looking and inspiring with your posts make me want some bottles of my own

Bottle bug has bitten you, best just to do what it wants you to do with no questions or complaints.

The crazy dump that I dig and your construction site have about the same era of bottles. It has always amazes me how quickly after the advent of machine made bottles that companies scrambled for an unusual, recognizable design. This timeframe is when this was in full swing. The variety is endless, but there are some that are recognizable even today.

I still enjoy digging a Phillips bottle. Your Holy Water is one that I have not dug yet, but I have found embalming fluid bottles. You never know.

The holy water bottle is cool, i have 3 or 4 bottles of Magnesia, but screwless, so they must be a bit older. I have only one that have a screw top, so i managed to clean it and it is now my kitchen soap dispenser:thumbsup:
 

looks like late 1930s thru 1940s stuff.a few things look good ,but I'd be bummed out digging most of it. good luck in finding older bottles.
