Agreed, you can find a cool whiskey label on Ebay for $5-10 and have a really cool display piece....

Epackage, i see a lot of these bottles (broken) where i've been hunting. Any ideas as to who the manufacturer is?

I don't know but I suspect in the South Jersey Baltimore area...

1870-1890

After a little research on the area I believe the later half of the date range is correct

I dig a bunch of these out of a bunch of old irish dumps from the 1870 to 1890's.

Thank you... these are actually newer than the "old bottles" I'm use to finding.

Not to say they did not linger into the twilight of the 20th century. 1870 to 1915 probably. Not.

Nice little find a fossil hunting trip definitely bringing the detector with me next time.
Thanks for lending a hand

The crudeness of the mouth tooling in pic number two shows age.

Yeah I have some much older pontiled bottles (mostly broken) that are almost sloppy.
The "black" olive green glass variety ... British and Spanish.
