1911 Duraglass bottle-32 oz

[fongu]

I found this old bottle Saturday at the location of an old church. The grass was so tall and thick I could barely swing my GTI-2500 and sniper coil. I only found nails and old cans but saw this bottle and another. I couldn't get to the other one. this one has a date stamped 4-8-1911 and it's a threaded bottle but still just over 100 years old.

Hey fongu,

That's a 1946, I think. What are the numbers to the left and right of the Owens mark? The Duraglas process did not enter the bottle arena until 1940. It looks like a bleach to me.

Thanks surf. I just assumed it was 1911 and have did some research since my post and saw where I was mistaken. It didn't have any code on top, just the 4-8 and 11 on bottom of the diamond looking mark. It was 32 oz and I hoped it was a beer bottle, but probably mistaken about that also.

You're welcome, fongu,

Sorry, but a beer would not have a screw cap in 1948. The form is saying bleach to me: Bleach Bottles

Maybe 1935 or 1938. Or, 1945 or 1948. One of those four dates anyway! And keep in mind that it can be dangerous to smell the contents of a bottle if you don't know what's inside! They can put some pretty nasty stuff in bottles, especially large chemical/utility bottles like these. Solvents, pesticides, you name it.
