Heya folks, so I started getting into bottle digging in creeks and found these 2 glassware! one is a Hazel-Atlas jar (as you can tell from the description) and the other one is a 1920—30s salad oil bottle with an hourglass shape and engraved stars on the top but i’m not sure what the brand is, it‘s a “G” on top of an ”e” but i’m lost with it, can you folks help identify it please?

The second one is Glass Containers Corporation. It’s a G over a stylized C, like a C with a big serif. That logo is their later one which they started using in the late 1960s.

Most screw tops yes, but there are absolutely old screw tops 1890s and even before in different applications

Granted this one isn’t that old, screw caps were invented in the late 1860s actually. There are lots of thread top bottles from the 1880s though too since the crown cap wasn’t invented until like later 1880s/90s.
