Agreed, you can find a cool whiskey label on Ebay for $5-10 and have a really cool display piece....

Epackage, i see a lot of these bottles (broken) where i've been hunting. Any ideas as to who the manufacturer is?

I don't know but I suspect in the South Jersey Baltimore area...

1870-1890

After a little research on the area I believe the later half of the date range is correct

I dig a bunch of these out of a bunch of old irish dumps from the 1870 to 1890's.

Thank you... these are actually newer than the "old bottles" I'm use to finding.

 

[gleaner1]

Not to say they did not linger into the twilight of the 20th century. 1870 to 1915 probably. Not.

Nice little find a fossil hunting trip definitely bringing the detector with me next time.
Thanks for lending a hand

The crudeness of the mouth tooling in pic number two shows age.

Yeah I have some much older pontiled bottles (mostly broken) that are almost sloppy.
The "black" olive green glass variety ... British and Spanish.
