Bottles on the Chisholm trail

[Burdie]

Sniffer and I came across the Chisholm Trail. We dug these out of an embankment along a country road. I don't have a clue about bottles but wanted to share. May not be anything. If you have information please share.
Thank you for looking.

lol too funny!

Neat bottles ya got Burdie....any embossing on them at all? There are some good sites for looking up info on bottles here someplace. I remember getting info from the ones I posted but I can't for the life of me remember the sites. I can only claim sleep deprivation and if some helpful soul does not come along and give you links I will try to find them when I get back from my next 48 for ya! Love that beautiful cobalt blue one though!

Just save me some...I love old bottles. The brown one does look like a Clorox bottle, but most of them had Clorox embossed on em. Brown bottles normally meant contents were some poisonous to humans. The tall clear bottle looks like a medicine/bitters bottle and the smaller looks like a Bromo seltzer...hard to tell of the color if that color is blue.

Dang, Burdie! I KNEW we should have gotten out and played in the mud that day! Those bottles are great! Do they have any writing on them?

The blue one has A-14 on the bottom and the brown has nothing. The clear just has a diamond on the bottom. The one is colbolt blue.

Diamond logo (no letters or numbers inside)........Uncertain, possibly Diamond Glass Co, Montreal, Quebec (1891-1913), or Diamond Glass Company, Royersford, PA (1885-1990). (Diamond Glass Company of Royersford was purchased in 1985 to become part of Diamond-Bathurst, and in 1987 the factory was then acquired by Anchor Glass Container Corporation, who closed down the plant in 1990). Some bottles may well be products of the Illinois Glass Company, Alton, IL., which definitely used a diamond mark with numbers and/or letters within it on many types of bottles.

The letter "A" is often merely a mold letter. If it is an abbreviation for a glass factory, it could stand for one of several companies. The 14 could be a stock # or it could also be a date.

He thanks Stoney glad to have that information. Wish I could find some with writing on them. Sure was fun in that bank though.
