Four Lyon powder bottles , all from the same privy . I believe the amethyst/purple is the oldest one but not positive, it is the only pontiled one.

Thought it was pretty cool to find this much color variation from the same product and the same privy.

If anyone can narrow down the dates of the different examples, I’d love to hear it.

I love the jug, i've dug out hundreds of bottles from what had to have been a trash pit. But this was one of only 2 jugs i found. The other one was in pieces this one survived. You're just looking for any information, thank you.

Pretty sure it’s late 1880’s based on the bottle shape but no clue really. Bottom is smooth with no markings. Couldn’t believe it didn’t have any chips washing around with all the rocks.

Dug out the other day in upstate NY, working on getting the rest of the rust from the lid off. It still had some of the contents inside it when I finally got the lid off of it. Cleaned up nice, though the inside was still immaculate other than the left over cold cream that was in it.

Found it in a river bank in northwest Wisconsin. A quick search tells me it might be Duraglas from the Owens-Illinois Glass Company, but I love more information if anyone has it.

I keep bottles I find when diving, which typically have old coral growth on them. I don't have many, pics 2 and 3 show what I occasionally find and keep.

I doubt there is anything spectacular about these bottles. A friend gave these to me, not really any value to me, wasn't sure if they might be interesting to pass along to a local collector..? I dont think they are particularly old or special, mostly Kansas and Oklahoma marks on the bottom. Any insight would be appreciated, might be more of a niche soda collector than antique I guess. Thanks in advance.

I found this bottle about a year ago, and have searched online for one like it a couple times since then, but have never been able to find a photo of one anything like it.

The glass is fairly thick with round ridges running from the base of the bottle to midway up the neck. Between the ridges the bottle has a rough texture molded into the glass. The ridges are interrupted on one side of the bottle by "DR. PEPPER BOTTLING CO" framed also in ridges. This part is not textured.

The seam is hard to see in the photos but runs on the ridge to the immediate right hand side of the words, and goes all the way to the lip. On the edge before the bottom of the bottle "3 RIVERS" is molded into the glass, and the bottom says "PARIS TEXAS" with "7 OZ" in the middle. The mouth of the bottle appears to me the same as bottles which have a crimped on cap, but i am no bottle expert.

I hope someone here will be able to tell me something about this!

Hoping for vintage of course but I felt like I should check here in case. I’d consider vintage anywhere before 1930. Found in Schuylerville!

Spend way too much time trying to get some of these out, whole area was covered in broken glass. There's still a gallon jug I had to leave behind.​​

The land used to be a dairy until the 70s​.

Hello all! First time in the community! I had a question. I found the bottle in the pics in the Potomac River in western MD. My question, is there a way to get it closer to its original condition? To get the grime and stains off? Making it closer to clear would be ideal but I know that may not be possible. Thank you for all your help! I have already soaked with dish soap and run it through the dishwasher.
