The Bottle Bug!

[Mastiff4me]

Have you heard of The Bottle Bug? It is a very real condition, that makes one want to dig for hours on end, for bottles. I already have a serious case of metal-detectoritus.
I am hoping someone can help me with a few of my finds. Here are some new finds from an old privy, View attachment 917278 View attachment 917278 View attachment 917279 View attachment 917280 View attachment 917281 in addition to a chinese symbol embossed bottle I cannot place. Here are the pics. Thank you.

Christmas Eve greetings, Mastiff,

When did they get indoor plumbing in your neck of the woods? This glass looks mainly mid 20th Century machine made. I cannot make out anything on the bottle with the medallions. Glass does not like to be photographed with a flash. The atomizer with the metal cap looks a nice Deco model.

If you want to know more, well focused, natural light photos of the complete bottle, including closeups of the base, and the finish are necessary.

You are so smart, Surf. Will do.

Can't wait to see those bottles all cleaned up.

Thanks Coily. I saw your spotless collection. How did you clean them? Anything special?

Mastiff all of my bottles were bought and pretty clean but I searched here for cleaning tips and found a good thread.Vinegar works wonders on glass that is just dull looking but for tougher stains you might try soaking the bottles in Clorox for a day or so.This thread explains very well so you don't end up ruining a nice bottle.
