out 2 hours today but I think I found the homestead I was looking for

[Con]

I was out 2 hours todays, looking for a particular homestead and I think I found a clue to it. Can anyon ID the Bottle. The bottom of the bottle looks to have a 1 B on the bottome of the bottle, the bottle was actually with the brass hook, Any help would be appreciated

The bottle looks old!!! You should detect the crap out of that area!

Small medicinal bottle. Probably 100(+?) years old. My guesss is that '1B' was a mold number, no way to ID the glassworks.

Though I may stand corrected.

Looks like an old Merthiolate bottle.(iodine).Everytime we opened one it would get all over you, and wouldn't wash off.

Nice old bottle. See if it says anything on the bottom. It may be from one of the many glassworks in South Jersey, such as Jackson, or Lebanon.

the hook looks like the trigger guard for a black powder rifle.

Good observation. Nice going on the ID!

Hey Con,

Go to www.sha.org/bottle to find more info on your bottle (dating, maker's marks, etc.) it's a great website! Good Luck

The hook resembles a trigger guard.

I find tiny little bottles like that all over the place here and my house is 105 years old. I dug one beside the old OLD cabin out back and it's from around 1880-90.
