Good day!! A few Bottles and 2 spun pewter buttons

MonkeyBoy · Jan 9, 2009

I went out for a quick hunt this evening... got a couple of pewter buttons.. have not even cleaned them yet... and then got the 'Low battery" warning?? Whoops! So I was scouting out the house site area.. I've hunted it before but not as much as the others I have.. and I see a small wine bottle poking up through the leaves.. it is one of the small375ml bottles.. soooo in I go... lots of rocks so most of them were broken... but I did get another nice little wine bottle.. both applied tops and a Arlington Brewery co bottle.... pretty happy with that.. i pick up my new Metal Detecting jeep tomorrow soooo that with be the first spot it goes!!!

I attached a pic of the bottles.. they are still soaking... I really need to build a bottle cleaning machine!!!

Re: Good day!!

I know nothing about bottles. But, those two sure look pretty cool !!!!

There is nothing worse than the dreaded 'low battery' sign. Always seems to happen right when you get into a 'hot' area.

Have fun with the Jeep.

Thanks for digging up the info! I cheated... ;-) the pic i posted is the one from that link.... I'll post a pic of the group once they are clean.. and HOPEFULLY a bunch more from today!!! The date surprises me... looking at the bottle I would have assumed it was older.. and it was my understanding this housesite was long gone by then... actually I know it was.. I am wondering if this was trash from loggers now?? maybe not directly related to the house. The fits in perfectly with when it was logged, and there is a huge rotting stump in the middle of the cellar hole itself.. I snap a pic when I'm up there... one of th b ottles was deeper and has an applied top so ?? maybe the logger used the same trashpit... that could be an interesting range of "trash"..

Thanks again for the info!

I usually keep a spare.. but it was in the charger!!! doh! Thanks on the Jeep... this one is getting a few mods... to survive my metal detecting trips!! I might even Rhino coat the whole thing!! ;-) I'll bent axels.. drives.. ripped the entire front end off of one and lost a lot of side view mirrors.. the front end was the best.... it was just hanging on my the wiring harness!! Thank God I had a roll of gorilla tape in my emergency kit..

MonkeyBoy,

The maker of your bottle is noted on its heel: E. H. E. Co.
Those initials stand for the Edward H. Everett Company (Newark Star Glass Works), Newark, OH (1880-1904). That plant merged in 1904 to become part of the Ohio Bottle Company and in 1905 part of the American Bottle Company. American was purchased by Owens Bottle Company in 1916, and in 1929 this plant became part of the merger that resulted in the formation of Owens-Illinois Glass Company.

ok, so you think that puts the date as being even later?? I was thinking 1880s when I first saw it.. based on the seam.. but now I have no clue!! I still have a lot to learn about bottles... you would think.. having 100s of them.. I'd know a little more!!

MB:
Since the Everett Company lasted to 1904 and the Arlington Brewing Company began in 1902, the bottle then had to be made in either 1902, 1903 or 1904.
