I like the old bottles! Where did you dig them from, an old dump or privy?
 
Nice finds john, where did you get them?

Hey John,

Congratulations on an excellent dig, sir. Unbelievably productive for such a short one. This sounds like a great spot.

I hope you'll do some better pictures of these guys. That Liberty & the Pietro are fine! Who's that reclining sauce?

I like that larger plate mould.

"Liberty Brewing Co. - This mouth-blown colorless champagne or select style beer bottle is embossed with REGISTERED / LIBERTY BREWING CO. / TRADE (Statue of Liberty) MARK / SPRINGFIELD, MASS. It has a capacity of approximately 13-14 oz. , has a tooled crown finish, and was produced in a post-bottom mold with all of the locatable air venting hidden in the embossing pattern. These diagnostic features that would indicate production between about 1900 and 1914 or so. A check of Van Wieren (1995) indicates that the Liberty Brewing Company was in business under that name from 1901 to 1911, fitting nicely with the diagnostically determined date." Beer & Ale Bottles

They were later a part of a big Combine: Moody's Analyses of Investments - John Moody of which Theodor Dr. SEUSS Geisel's grandfather was the principal. See here, too: The Seuss, the Whole Seuss and Nothing But the Seuss: A Visual Biography

Looks like a good dig, Congrats !!!!!!!
 
John, I couldn't tell you how many my daughter and her boyfriend found in Wilmington, Illinois, where they live. Sometimes they will find 20 or so in a day. They have a certain area, that the bottles wash up, along the river.
