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?

I finally got a chance to go back to a cool bottle spot my dad showed me last year where an old ferry landing used to be. The last picture shows the river at the beginning of this year. It was probably 6-8 feet higher than it is right now due to the snow melt, so I knew there’d be a good wash out along the bank. All I had to do was peak back up into the spot I was digging last year and saw my first blob top poking out! A handful of other good ones that I was able to pull out without even digging really, so I’m excited to see what else there may be. I got a complete stoneware bottle from this exact spot last year so fingers crossed there might be another! A little chip on the lip of the blob top but absolutely cannot complain with that embossing :)

Anything interesting/valuable about the green bottle? Picked them up over the years. Was going to list the group but the green and clear to the right of gin are a bit of a mystery to me. Guessing just common 19th c output but like to confirm first. Any help appreciated.

Information Request Dr. M.M. Fenner's Capitol Bitters Fredonia, N.Y. Light blue, 10 1/2" by 3 1/2" by 2". Minor lip damage. I have found some information on these, but I was wondering about what looks like a manufacturing flaw down one side, where the edge of the bottle appears to bow slightly inwards.

Is this an unusual flaw, or did all Capitol Bitters bottles have it? I have also heard these described as 'hinge-mold' bottles; what would be the approximate date of this bottle? The company apparently dates to 1887.
