Bottle Dump Bonanza

[Gonehunting]

Spent the other day helping my sick(with packrat disease) father inlaw clean out his garage. After spending all day doing it he told me of a trash dump not far from the house. With 2 hrs of daylight left we headed over there.
First couple out of the ground were screw tops.





then came the good stuff. The very next thing out of the ground was this ink bottle.





in no particular order the rest.

Here is all of them with some I didnt post.




Not sure if any of these are worth anything. just thought some of the bottle hounds might like em....GH

Those are great bottles. I wonder if the sperm is oil from a sperm whale.

Great finds! Love the sewing machine oil bottle. I just watched a show on PBS about the whaling industry in the 18th-19th centuries. Nice going.
