My bottle collection.

[treasurefiend]

Here is my bottle collection. I only found 2 of these, Twistidd gave me 2 and Bilt36 gave me 3 of them.
I also have 2 coke’s with painted letters, lots of olives and pickle jars and a ton of tiny asprin’s.
Bilt36 gave me #2, #3, #4 from the left & Twistidd gave me #5, #6. The 2 that I found are on
the ends #1 & #7, oh well, here they are.

Cool bottles! I like the ones Bilt gave to you, got quite a few of those myself, including an exact duplicate of the one that says "Chicago Consolidated"...once you see the dump I found, you'll easily triple or quadruple your total. None are as old as the ones Bilt got you but they are old and embossed.

I wonder what a "Malted Milk Lunch Tablet" tastes like? Sounds nasty.

Cool bottles Fiend! I hope you find a lot more this year

Those are pretty cool bud!
I'm not into bottles, but I know I would be if I started finding ones like this.

Fiend, those bottles are wonderful!

That "Muller" bottle you have came from the old soda factory that was just down the street
from where I live. The remaining structures on the property are now occupied by the Historical Society.

Take care,

Pre-cursor to Ovaltine. Found dozens of them over the years. They were in every house with kids and some without.
Excellent soda bottles Fiend!

Great bottles, Fiend!

Little did Mrs. Kimsdad know that once I started metal detecting in the woods, I'd start dragging old bottles home too.

Anyone out there ever find an intact half-pint milk bottle? I've found plenty of pieces, but no whole ones.

Yes, found many of those, the creamers. Dairies from Woodstock to Chicago. I like pulling quart bottles that are intact out of digs, that usually is the first indication the site was buried prior to the Red Ryder Wars.

Strangest bottle find I've made is some kind of structure back in the woods, fairly isolated in Trout Park. A concrete structure that may have once looked like a large, very large drinking fountain. It was formed by dozens of quart milk bottles from numerous dairies in concentrically expanding and diminishing arrays, all partially encased in concrete. I think some old milk culture used it for sacrificial purposes to some higher dairy entity.
