bottle dump

  1. Listerine Bottle Age

    The bottle says “ Listerine Lambert Pharmacal Company” and at the bottom it is a diamond with the number 500 in the center. I understand that this is Illinois Glass Co. and I’m led to believe the number 500 is the catalog number. I am having a difficult time finding the exact year for this...

  8. found bottle dump in woods wonder where the house might have been located

    I found a bottle dump with beer, whiskey bottles and an embossed asprin bottle. Seems to be from the 1950's. This is an area where I know from old maps a few homes where there in the 1920's. How far and in which direction would the old house be located? There is no indication of any foundation...
  9. New bottle dump found

    I'm pretty new to bottle digging and this website as well. I'm from New Hampshire and Vermont, but I recently found a small bottle dump and I've slowly been digging it in my free time. I've found lots of medicine, ink, and whiskey bottles, and canning jars. A lot of common bottles but a few good...
  10. Bottle Dumps

    I didn't see a thread for this on this forum. So I thought it would be a good subject to start chatting about.
