Found one small medicine bottle in mint condition laying in the ditch near property owned by my relatives, so I dug a little and found more, and before long, I had dug up over 50 bottles in a short amount of time. I know they are old, but I don't know how old, and if they are worth anything. These are just a few of my favorites. Can anyone give me info on them. The first and second pics are definatley ink bottles, that I do know.

I would say 1910's-20's most people would not dig these but they do not realize there is some valuable bottles in that time date.So dig,dig,dig!
 

Nice blue bottles and is the bottle in the 2nd pic is an ink well ?

Mint condition bottles, 1900-1930 Nice collection , would sell in the range of $3.00-$5.00..............................

Keep on digging !!!

let me know if you run across any brown coca cola bottles (cir1910), sold a few of those I found in the Cape Fear River for a pretty penny.
 

An easy way to date an american bottle is to look at the seam... the closer to the top of the bottle it is the closer it is to the 20th century... if it is threaded 20th +.. late 20th only the lip is applied
