Good stuff! Epackage, a fellow bottle hunter, collects Paterson bottles. I'm sure he could give you some info.

I think that first one is a round bottom soda. A torpedo has a sharper more distinctive bottom. Those are some really good finds. Will you send more pictures when you've given them a bath? Did you have to dig for these or were they sticking out of or resting where the water had receded?

My river site has only given up one hutch, and my friend found it. Ever since I've been hungry for one. I know they're out there!

Cool finds George, while these are fairly common bottles for the area it's great to know that someone is looking in the river for bottles. I'm not sure where exactly you're doing your searches but I'd keep at it if I were you, you seem to have found a good area or area,s and you might find a real gem in your searches. Thanks for sending me the heads up... Jim

How tall is it George? I don't think it's a decanter, it looks like a whiskey flask missing it labels, it would have had a metal cap that screwed down and held a cork in the opening. The cap could be used as a shot glass...

Without the labels and metal there's not much in the way of value I afraid.
