Old Truck & Bottles

I was looking for an old field today that was supposed to be marked with old barb wire. Never found the wire. Walked about 2 miles up hill from a creek and found this old truck cab and a bunch of old bottle dumps. I don't think the dumps were too old and there was a slight trace of an old road. In the dumps there were old glass Nehi soda bottles and some old steel Pabst beer cans. I also found these old glass Clorox jugs (the 2 on the right) I am 43 and never remember seeing Clorox in a glass jug. Anybody have any idea when they stopped making them in glass?

P.S. also found a boat load of Morel Mushrooms that go for around $52/Lb. or $20/Lb. dried but did not pick them.

from the glass bottles, the NEHI bottles and the steel PBR's, I would date it somewhere between 1928 - 1955

I wish I could get closer but clorox bottles have no value, nehi was made from 1924-1955 when it became RC cola, and they made PBR in steel forever, no longer though, was the can a beaver tail or a an actual diamond slice ?

I have seen my mother do the wash with Clorox coming out of those brown bottles. That would have been in the 1950's and possibly very early 1960's.

THE TRUCK CAB IS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO ROADS OF ANY KIND, WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO RETREIVE.

I'd try using a 4x4 atv with a small trailer to get it, nothing is impossible if you realy wanted it.
