Are you asking for information regarding these bottles? If so, let us know what is written on each. For example, the second bottle appears to be one from the Newark, NJ bottler, C. L. Schaumloeffel, or perhaps George (same last name). Either would be dated in the '20s IMO.
those are sure nice, ticm....I know nothing of bottles, well, very little anyway.
Watched a show on privy hunting on the Travel Channel and was hooked.
Do you have recommendations on locating old dump sites? Know of old home sites, but unknown where they might have been dumping trash. There is a known well location, however, and I plan on digging it. It's a start.
Where do you do your digging? Privies, dumps,
Keep up the good work.

I, also, like those sodas. Just based on the form, I'd guess they are earlier than the 1920s (or later than the 1820s). My guess is that they fall into the 1860-1890 range. Where is 'Road Dog' when you need him!
The tall, dark bottle on the right appears to be a Saxlehner's Bitterquelle bottle.
