Alpena, Michigan

I dig up old bottles anywhere from the 1890's to the 1960's out near Hubbard Lake, Michigan. I've found early glass Listerine bottles, Karol's syrup, a 1927 Vernor's bottle, Pepsin and antiseptic bottles, even old utensils. There are tons of old junk piles in the area.

There's some cleaning to do...I gave my best finds to my grandfather. There was a 1927 Vernor's ginger ale bottle and a 1965 Coca-cola bottle.

Most of the bottles I find are impossible to tell if they're old gin, wine, or soda bottles. I haven't cleaned any of the containers except the Vernor's, Coke, and the Dehring's soft drink bottles.

If you need help with identification there are plenty of experts on here that could help!

For some, there's no identifying to do. Some bottles are completely unmarked, others will have a patent number, some have old name brands on them.
