I dug at an old dump from the 40s-60s today with my brother, and got plenty of cool bottle, jar, and can finds. The black looking bottle is a milk jar encrusted with black paint on the inside. I thought the food filled mason jar looked older, especially from the mark on the bottom. If anyone knows the age, please let me know. I have never heard of the atlas Good Luck jar, any info on that would be appreciated. Thanks for looking and HH!

those early aluminum cans hold up well - the steel ones can look good if you soak the rust off (depending on dirt conditions) - neat stuff...

Great finds (especially bottles)! Thanks for sharing...
 
The second bottle/jar looks like a dairy sour cream or cottage chesse container, whats the embossing on jar 2 and the milk bottle say.
 
Love the good luck jar! :notworthy: You can probably find info on its history by a web search or a web image search. Good luck on good luck jar info, lol! Andi
 
Thanks everyone! The second jar is a milk jar like the black looking one, just bigger. They read 3 cent deposit this bottle property of dairy container corporation detroit michigan never sold must be returned after using contents
