[Mojo618]

Hello, my name is Jennifer. I'm new to bottle collecting, and I am in need of your help. I found this bottle at the new shoreline of Lake Hartwell. ( I say new cause the lake has dried up due to lake of rain and the amount as to how much they let flow in.)

Just wondering if its worth keeping?
I was wondering what it held at what point?
I did a lil digging and found that it could be a bottle from the Brockway Glass Company? I'm not sure thou?

Common little 1970s soda bottle or something, got hundreds around here

It looks to be a modern bottle to me. Keep looking, there's plenty of good old stuff out there to find! - Good luck

Stubby Beer Bottle from 1973, most likely a Miller High Life missing it's paper labels.

Older bottles don't have the screw on top for a lid. Keep an eye out for those!

With all due respect Dihren,that is a common misconception on the screw top bottles , lots of bottles have screw tops that are "old" ground top ,screw top whiskey flasks date to the 1890s,there are large whiskey bottles that have inside screw threads that date even older,one time I read (Ithink it was in Cecil Munsey's bottle book) that states "screw top glass bottles have been around since the time of Christ." If your not sure always ask,I would hate to see you toss down a $800 whiskey bottle. But I do agree with Epackage, Miller highlife beer bottle.

Sorry for misinforming. And thank your for correcting me! I definitely want to learn all I can! Once again, my apologies, and thank you for the correction. How can you tell if a screw top bottle is an older one?

the top will be slightly rough amd opaque, i.e. it will look ground down, like if someone put it on a belt sander. its one of the few closure types i still need for my type set of common turn of the century closures.

Thanks!

Hey, 70's anything is already 35-40 years old. Just keep looking and enjoy the finds.

We had a vigorous debate here about subtle manufacturing differences in some of these ground-lip screw tops; maybe you can find it by searching.

Here's just one example:

Makes you wonder what will be the next blobs and hutches in another 100 years...like, will 1970s stuff bring money? What do you guys think?
