Hello! I've been digging away in the back yard and have found lots of fun things I'll share when I get them cleaned up a bit, but yesterday I did find something not smashed to pieces! Its a little bottle with a B in a circle. Its a Brockway bottle. Its marked 1/2 oz and there is also a 15 01 and a number 5 on the bottom. I love bottles. My Mama collected them and she was related to a pharmacist so we have these great bottles from the 1800's. That said, I can't find much on this little guy.

There should be some seam lines on the sides. How far up the bottle to they go?

This is a screw cap bottle. I'm not an expert, but I don't think there are any collectable screw cap bottles since they were made so recently.

Not all treasure is gold. Many glass items can be worth thousands. If you've found some interesting glass, post it here!

I think we Have it all :coffee2:

and if I had to make a wild guess I think there is a 72 or 73 on The bottom,
Which may be the Date

Does appear to be a Pill Bottle
