I was doing some archaeology in the basement of a 100+ year old building with a dirt floor yesterday and found some whiskey bottles. These two are of special interest; they don't have a seam running to the top of the bottle and there are a few other elements that make me think they may be a little earlier in the 20th century than the rest. They are pint and half-pint, and the smaller has two backward "N"s in the word CONTENTS. The larger has a B imposed over a W on the bottom; I'm not sure how well the picture will show it. Any ideas on the age of these two? I'm guessing about 100 years. Thanks for any ideas that you share!
