Congrats on your finds Chris!
Love the look of those old clear bottles!

If I'd found those in the ground up here, the clear ones would be 'sick' with glass disease!
That's what happens when the glass turns cloudy and starts to 'break down' from being buried
in the ground too long. No amount of cleaning can restore the glass either!

Take care man,
Dave

I'm curious, what city or town is stamped on the bottom of that coke bottle?

I have one sitting on my shelf right now that was made in my hometown of Eastman, GA.. It was hand blown and instead of a patent number it has a date. December 25, 1923
The Coke museum offered me 5$ for it, I politely told them where they could insert said Coke bottle. It was found in the woods in a bottle dump as well, along with an old style brown glass Orange Crush bottle. Both undamaged.
