I agree with 'epackage' . . . the big bottle appears to be a 2 liter demijohn made in Germany. This is the smallest in a series of different sizes, all of them larger in capacity. I have a "3", "5", "10", "16", "17" and "19.87" (and perhaps one or more that I've overlooked).

It's is rare to dig an intact demijohn, even a small one like the two-liter. Typically, these bottles were used and re-used until they broke. Nice find.

are all three of the lady,s legs embossed? Good cash if they are.

 

[Bass]

All are very pleasant to the eye. I'm so sorry you have 2 more holes to dig.

 

[Bass]

Sorry didnt mean to hit send. I was being sarcastic about there being 2 more holes. I hope you get some more goodies. Cant wait to see what else you find. Please, keep us posted!!!!

How do you know where to dig for these bottles?

Hello Robby,

Welcome to TNet, and thanks for this helluva debut post.

Not one, but Three Lady's Legs in one pit, to say nothing of the demi and the stone gin or mineral water, and those case gins, too! Bravo sir!

I wanna hear all about it, please. More photos, too, in natural light to do those beauties justice, please.

The Reeds Bitters is absolutely killer!

I'm very curious to hear about a dig that produces this kind of quality stuff all together, color me dubious....

 

[yakker]

Where (generally speaking- like 'north east'...) are you located? How long have you been digging for bottles? What's the rest of your collection look like? We're hungry for more info, and I love what you've shown so far. Splain, Lucy! (you know- as Ricky would say to Lucy...I Love Lucy)... HH! Yak

I found these bottles can Anyone tell me anything about them the green pepsi bottle is pretty intriguing to me.

 

[unclemac]

if you post this as its own thread, you will get more action. title it "green pepsi" or something like that

Here is mine. No embossing. You can see where the paper label used to be. Mine is blown in mold with a tooled lip. Probably just before the ABM. Wish I would have had two others to go with it. I here they are semi rare to dig intact. That neck is a pretty week point. Very nice finds.
