Been going through some of the stuff I had dug awhile back, thought
I would get a few opinions:

First up, 11 inch`s tall, inverted threads (inside threads), no seams.
Remains of cork inside bottle, this bottle looks like it was "stretched"
and has "swirls" in the glass, wish I had a better pic.
(no markings)

Next up. 3 3/4 innh`s tall,2 inch`s wide at the base, light aqua color.
Bubbles in glass.
(no markings)

Last, "wonder bubbles" had a screw-lid , 4 1/4 inch`s high.
Not very note-worthy but tossed it in "just because".

Any idea`s on the first two? :icon_scratch:

Unfortunately I'm 1200 miles from my bottle book at the moment, and I remember reading something about interior threads, just not sure what. . .

It is a neat bottle though, and the second almost looks like a really light cobalt instead of aqua, very pretty color either way.

Wonder bubbles? hehehe. . .
 

The green bottle I believe is a whiskey bottle, late 1800`s up until the 20`s with the screw in stopper. Wish
I had a bottle expert nearby that could look this over.

That bottle was in a pit (may have been a privy), 3 feet down and on top of about 30 "Edison battery oil"
bottles, the farther down we dug, the older the bottles ,at the bottom were the hutch bottles.

Here`s a pic of how the "wonder bubbles" looked when new. :wink:

Interesting info on the green bottle, the area where it was located is between an old shop and railroad tracks. The interesting part is its less than 50 yards from where an old brewery stood, they used stoneware bottles, not that ,that has any bearing on this particular bottle.

I hope to get back in that area in spring, some of the broken hutch`s appeared as though they could have been quart size or larger. :wink:
