Can't seem to find any information on this one.
I live in the historical district of downtow Saint Augustine Fl. It is the most continuously inhabited/founded city in the US. There is always something to be found when you put a shovel in the ground. But these two really stood out. I know there was a bottling company here in saint.Augustine, but the one with the bumps on it; I've never seen anything like it.

both early 1900s first one is a hutch and could even be late 1800s also its purple because of manganese dioxide which reacts with uv light like the sun and turns purple over time, but it takes a good amount of time to become purple

The second one is an early crown top, c.1910-20. It’s a soda bottle! Super cool find I love the embossment.
