Took a short walk and found a local soda bottle Matthews Bottling Works out of Emmitsburg Md.
Did a little research on the bottle and found out 2 brothers had a store in Emmitsburg early 1900's and also made home made ice cream and soda.
The store also had a one lane bowling alley,a merry-go-round and a player piano.

The bottle may not be worth much but,the history around it is Awesome.

You've got yourself a very nice local bottle there and it looks like it is in really great shape. Nice find.
 

Deershed, thats a great find. I love finding the local bottles
 

I just found one of these in my yard today. They are very nice looking bottles. Did you ever find out if its worth anything?

Thanks!
 

I'm not getting rid of mine either. I'm from Taneytown so it's a nice piece of local history. I was just curious more than anything if was worth anything. Good luck on future hunts! Thanks for the link.
