Today's find..

I know I am probably one of the few bottle hounds on this site, but the reason I am posting here is to broaden my horizons when it comes to looking for treasures, since I run a crossed a lot of other things besides bottles....That being said, these are the things that I have found today at a river dump, which is on some really old land that dates back to the early 1700's. The first picture is three "Bromo-seltzer" bottles, while they have little to no value due to being very common, they are still a cool discussion piece because of their cobalt blue coloring...the second picture is what appears to be a apoth.-poison bottle, due to the seam in the bottle ending near the neck and the top appears to be hand-blown applied square band top, its safe to assume that this bottle is from the 1840-1870's...The last picture appears to be a full pint whiskey / rye bottle with an applied double color which also gives it the date range of the 1840'-1870's....If any body has any questions to their bottle finds, here is a good website for basic knowledge...

Re: Today's find..

From what I can tell they all look to be from around 1910-1930. I could be wrong though.
Nice bottles. I love digging dumpsites especially when they are really old.
Congrats on your finds .

Is that a '71 Satellite? I could drool over that car way more than most calendar girls.

Baltimore loves Bromo Seltzer. This is a detail of our landmark tower:

1972 Satellite Sebring, My baby. I've loved this car since I was little. When this came up for sale I snagged it quick. I'm the 3rd owner, original owner was an older gentleman in his 70's who sold the car right after buying it since he could non longer drive. The young woman who bought drove it through her teens and parked it with 32 000 miles on the odometer. it was parked up until 1992 and in 200X the decided to sell it.
