My Blob Tops - what do i have?

[OneWetKnee]

Hello, I will start by saying I am a "detectorist" first and a very amateur bottle hound. On the site of a French-Indian fort from 1680-1759 and then settled by my family early 1800s. I have found a bit of a bottle dump. These 5 have no seams,they have bubbles in the glass, uneven bottoms, applied rough tops. I have no real idea of age and would really like to. Any knowledge you could pass on would be great!



I will list them from left to right

Nice glass. The dump appears to be circa 1900 plus or minus ten years.

well first of all , there are liquor bottles . 1890 to 1910 approximately . the too tall ones are win the middle green one with the applied top is a whisky , the clear lady' s lag is a brandy . and the small one is a whisky nip. they all apery to be turn mold.

I would say some of your relatives didn't mind taking a nip here and there. Nice finds anyway and we appreciate you showing them. The funny looking bottom on the tall aqua on the left is a "kick-up." Did you find all these in one central location? I'm betting the farm there is more glass there. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thank you very much guys its nice to know what year that depth was when i got froze out. I can't wait to see what else is there come spring. I have maybe 50 other bottles from the spot. Most seem to be medical bottles, i assume 1900-1930. Il gather them up and post them. Maybe there is a diamond in the rough.

Awesome finds, OneWetKnee! 'Love that username.

Looks like you've got some nice old blown liquor bottles, c1890-1910 like sunrunner said. The leftmost and middle bottles in your first picture, with the applied finishes, are the oldest and could very possibly date to the 1880s.

The fourth bottle is actually blown in a dip mould, pretty darn similar, the bottle just isn't spun in the mould (this is why turn moulded bottles never have embossing).

Can't wait to see what else y'fetch!

I posted pictures of one box of the other bottles from the pit.
