I wonder how old this dump is ... anybody see anything interesting ... there's a Javex bottle and what appears to be ketchup bottles ... bottles 5,7 & 8 are not broken. Curious to find out what bottle 5 is.

Any embossing? Where does the seam of the bottle go? Does it go all the way through the top or does it go partially up the neck and fade away.
 

I brought that one home and took some pics ... seam goes right up to the top.5987a.webp
 

Hello, #5 is a medicine or chemical, # 7 is a ketchup, and #8 is a whiskey bottle, probably 1920's and up, cool finds though
 

Start digging,the deeper you go the older the stuff.
 

Hey Indiana Joe,I came across an old bottle dump out in the woods by my house,it has more tin cans then glass or so I thought,I decided to dig down in a clearing just to see if there was more under the trash that was on top.After digging that trench,I relized that there was a whole other dump that was there before the dump that was sitting on it.It also helps if you know the area,I found out that an old dairy sat on the property and before that(50 years earlier),sharecroppers lived on or around that site.
 

Here is info on the maker of the bottle that you showed up close. I hope it helps. -Garbageman


  • C in a triangle……Consumers Glass Company, Ville St. Pierre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada (1917-2002). Mark was an inverted triangle (point down) from 1917 to 1961, and a slightly rounded “right-side up” triangle after 1962, according to information per Toulouse. Consumers Glass (division of Consumers Packaging, Inc) was acquired by Owens-Illinois, Inc. (O-I) in 2002 and is now known as O-I Canada. I am assuming (but do not know this to be true) that all bottles produced after O-I acquired Consumers Glass are marked with Owens-Illinois identification (i.e. “I inside an O” or “O-I”) and the “C in a triangle with rounded corners” logo has been discontinued. See also “C.G.C.”.
