House next to my honey hole & a cool old bottle

[Sledgod2]

The house next to my honey hole house is in foreclosure so I took advantage and did a quick once over today and found some nice stuff. 1 Indian head cent(1896), 5 wheaties, a silver religious charm/necklace thing, a bullet, costume jewlery with fake diamonds, a plastic red gem, $2.76 in clad, a cool bottle that came out of one of the holes, a spigot wrench and a spoke wheel for what must have been a toy wheel to something. Not sure why but very little silver from these two houses... all I pulled from both houses is a merc dime, a rosie and the religious charm thing. With all of the old coins I pulled out of here I was hoping for some more old barber dimes and quarters. Oh well can't have everything.






Anybody a bottle expert? On the bottom it says 18097 and under that it says 29 8W-2. I know some people collect these... the only reason I'll keep it is for my treasure chest display.

Nice assortment of finds Sledgod2. Thanks for sharing...

the bottle looks like ones I remember in my mom's cabinet for vanilla or lemon extract

The bottle also reminds me of vanilla extract bottles. Religious pendant is lovely, but my fave is the miniature wheel with spokes! Andi

Great finds!

When I pulled the miniature wheel out there was a large iron signal a bit deeper but I didn't really have time to dig it. I wonder if it was what the wheel was attached to at one point. also dug up pieces of a toy gun that came apart when I pulled them out. Too bad because it would have been a nice add to the toy guns I have found

Hello Sled,

Sorry, the random numbers mean nothing to me. Perhaps a photo of the base of the bottle would help. It appears to be a 1940ish extract or household bottle. no collector interest from the bottle guys, I'm afraid...

Thanks Surf! I didn't really think it would be worth anything just curious. I want to make a display for the man cave someday with a lot of my finds throughout the years so I will keep it for that.
