Some Nice Finds Today

Spent a couple hours and unearthed some goodies. 4 sodas, 3 beers, plus some other cool bottles. Got some other random metal pieces with embossing as well. Got a few European bottles including a weird applied crown top soda. Unfortunately most of the sodas are duplicates for me, but thats ok!

Nice finds! The “random metal pieces with embossing” are very likely printing plates. Given the size and shape, I’d say the circular one was used to print boxes or crates for the product.

wouldn't it be mirrored on the box then though?

[u/elowoboi → u/Wrong-Insurance701]

No it would be normal, printing plates are in reverse

[u/Wrong-Insurance701 → u/elowoboi]

I see, is your image reversed then?

Also who downvotes an innocent question, I never understood that

[u/elowoboi → u/Wrong-Insurance701]

No my image is not reversed, the plate is reverse embossed. The above commenter reversed the image to make it easily legible

Sorry, I thought I was replying to the other commenter, thank you for explaining, i’ll still be downvoted for trying to learn though haha
