So yesterday, I found a few cool bottles in this site, so I went back today and dug around and came up with more old bottles, and some old zinc lids. I also found that narrow green bottle pictured. Does anybody know what it might be?

Maybe a sauce bottle? Pretty cool stuff. Looks old. does the seam go all the way up to the top?
Looks like it might be an old Capers bottle. If the seam stops below the lip I believe its a late 1800s fancy green Capers.

Nice bottles
 

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the seam disappears at the top of the neck, and the ring around the top shows no seam.101_0740.webp
 

Ok yeah i can see it. Its probably a 10 dollar bottle! Sweet find I would put that baby right in my bottle collection!
 

The seam line would indicate a time period from 1880 to 1900. The seam stops below the lip and then the bottle maker would either tool a lip onto the bottle or apply one, yours looks like an applied "patent or extract" style. Generally the higher the seamline goes, the newer the bottle. Although I have dug an embossed medicine bottle with an 1800s indicative seam but the Druggist was not in business until 1915. So at the transition time of the ABM bottle, there were still those making them the old way.
 

I wish I knew more about your green bottle because I have one just like it. I am pretty sure it is early 20th C. olive jar but not 100% on that. I kept mine because it has great eye appeal in the light. Looks great beside some cobalts. Congrats

Hi ZDD,
I've figured out with the help of Goldenplug and Villagenut that it's a capers bottle from the late 1800's to early 1900's. Chances are, that goes for yours too!:thumbsup:

The best bottle out the lot, is that little ink you have...any embossing on it?
 

Thanks guys for the ID on our bottles. This is why I love this forum, so many people here that have done tons of research on finds make this a valuable resource for sure.
HH,

The ink bottle has an anchor on the bottom, so it was probably made by anchor hocking glass co. Sadly it has a lot of hairline fractures in it, but I just couldn't bring myself to throw it out.

want some pottery frags to go with it? I have a couple 5 gallon buckets full from the beach that my wife insists that I can put back together. .:dontknow::icon_scratch:
 

Lol no thanks. I don't need more stuff that I should throw away but can't. I do try to throw a few bottles into the recycling bin every time I get new ones... My porch can only hold so many junky bottles.
 

Only if I have an effective and safe way to pull all the gold leaf off the old china...
