    Digging rusty bottle caps and cans turned up these bottles

    I went to the Oronoco park on the hillside in the woods and
    dug bottle caps and rusty cans and in each of the 4 holes I
    got bottles and a glass insulator.
    The glass insulator is a Hemingray no. 9 Patent May 2, 1893.
    It's 3 1/2" H x 2 1/4' W and was used for rural telephone.

    The clear glass bottles I was told are medicine. The small
    one has a 6 on the bottom 6 1/2" H and the larger one has
    a 4 on the bottem and is 6 7/8" H.

    The smaller brown bottle has 1838 and a 4 on the bottom 4 3/4" H

    And the larger one has an 0 on the bottom and air pockets in the glass
    it's 5 3/4" H.

    The tall brown bottle is 11 1/2" H and only has the numbers 15 P 28 on it.

    The pop bottle is my Favorite find M. Fakler Bottling Co.

    Rochester, Minnesota and is 7 1/2 Fl.oz. and 7 1/2 " H.
    And the last one a clear glass with Max Hargesheimer. The
    Rexall Store. Rochester, Minnesota.

    It's always fun to find old bottles!

    The two colorless, trumpet-mouthed bottles were used for condiments -- maraschino cherries, olives, etc.

    Your two best bottles are the soda and the druggist bottles. These are always of interest to local collectors and local history buffs.

    The eccentric marks on the bottom of the amber bottle (last image) are valve marks produced by the automatic bottle machine that produced the bottle.

    Thanks Harry Pristis. I also thought the clear bottles were for olives and I showed them to a school teacher and he said medicine so I'm with you on this one.

    'dodger, finds like this would keep me up at night. Its a shame the site is in a park of all places. Maybe you can get permission as a volunteer "trash" remover on clean-up day at the park? Just don't show anyone what's in the bag
