Super fun to dig old bottles.... To have real value you have to get into the cork top pre 1900 bottles... Great fun for you!!

Corkers will not have threads on the lip for screw-caps, nor will they have crown-cap lip finishes.

first my friend you may what to read up on glass making , if you don't know the deference between a screw cap and a cork top. and for the stuff your finding , it's not old enough 1950 . look for stuff 90 years or older.

Dude if you had fun and liked the stuff you kept that's all that matters. You might get a couple bucks for the cobalt blue stuff. Also there is a market for the painted(acl) sodas emerging. Don't be discouraged. Just keep on digging!

in the second picture is lucky Joe mustard . About 12.00 cleaned. Mint it would be 25 to 40. keep digging and look for milk bottles. Good Luck

In one of the pictures with the painted soda (the one that says beverages) there appears to be a tick on the bottle!

Nice work bud... I went out yesterday and all I found was a bunch of broken straight side coca cola bottles and a few 1940's and 50's coca cola bottles that are intact. I did manage to find a small old porcelain bear with Japan on the back.
