These are from a more recent trash dump in some woods I know about. Most of the junk from here seems to be from the mid-20th. Some neat stuff nonetheless. Gathered these for a colleague at work:

I only picked up the Coke bottles if they had intact, clean lids or crown tops. The Pepsi, Nehi, & 7-Up I gathered for variety. The middle 1/2-gallon jug looked odd enough to pick up but turned out to be of recent manufacture. The last one is a Rosenberger's Dairy milk jug that once had red printed labels (you can kinda see one on the shoulder).

These I picked up for myself:

Two old Mountain Dew bottles (turns out they actively sell on eBay for $10 :) ), a straight-sided clear Coke bottle, an aqua embossed Coke bottle made in St. Louis, MO, and a clear Dr. Pepper bottle, and then these two green (beer?) bottles with applied flared lips. Scott thinks they're Rolling Rock brand, or something like that. Finally, a half-gallon Lehigh Valley milk jug that's probably recent but still looked neat. If it turns out to be fairly common I might give it to that colleague from work.

EDIT: I almost forgot. A Presto Supreme Mason jar with a zinc lid, too. Can't find the pic I took, though.


SURF: (or anyone else) Any idea on an age for those milk jars?

Those milks could be 1950-70's IMO, those two green 'things' intrigue me and having me scratchin' my head.....
 
yeah...how are those beer bottles? keepers all, wouldn't have left a one behind if I had the means to carry.
 
nice finds congrats HH
 
Hey cti4sw,

The square milks started to become very popular in the late 1940's. They both have the Dacro style lip treatment which began in the late Thirties. I think Jim / package is right on with his date range. Did'ya check for date codes?
