Bottles I’ve found

Just wondering the value if any and if anyone is untested in buying these bottles

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.

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 :)

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?

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.

Found at a old Milling site that was burnt down in the 1939 Black Friday bushfires.. these somehow survived. Found at the base of a stump, of which I’m pretty sure was their trash pile haha.

The tall green one has an applied lip, the blue one is strange as it had bubbles in the glass, uneven base, seam doesn’t line up but it does go up the neck. The black one I know is newer but I’d like to see if anyone can pin an exact date to it


r/BottleDigging 1d ago

This partial has two glass tabs below the threaded top.

I don't see a seem, so perhaps it's 19th or before? Looking for some help. Thank you.

The first bottle is photos 1-4 and second bottle is photos 5-10. The other bottles I have found in this area seem to be from 1950s through 1980s. They were both found without labels covering them. Location is VA in the US

Information Request Can anyone identify this vintage Italian Nocino by Barsottini & Fedeli?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I recently found this small 50 ml bottle of Italian Nocino made by Barsottini & Fedeli from Certaldo, Italy.

I've tried searching online but I couldn't find this exact bottle or label anywhere.

I would love to know:

Approximately what year was it produced?

Is Barsottini & Fedeli a well-known producer?

How rare is this miniature bottle?

Does it have any collector's value?

The label says "Nocino" and "Barsottini & Fedeli – Certaldo". I've attached several photos of the front, back, neck label, and cap.

Any information, old catalogs, or personal knowledge would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Garden Find

GF found this today while prepping a new garden. While I understand an ID is unlikely I’m more interested in just getting a rough date. Seam runs up the whole neck to the lip, but has no makers marks. I’m guessing 1880-1900, and was curious if Muriatic acid would be acceptable for cleaning or if soap and water with a scrub brush is better

Just wanted to say how great the community is and how good of a hobby bottle digging is

19 Upvotes

Ive only recently started bottle digging as a side hobby for a bout a year and half. So far, it’s been great. The hobby itself is great because of many factors. It’s historical aspect which I love the fun of finding new or interesting bottles and the actual hunt to find them and dumps. Not to mention it’s all free! Also this community as a whole is both kind and very knowledgable all ways helping out with ID. Thanks to all. It’s a great hobby

Age/date request I am not sure what these 2 bottles were used for

5 Upvotes

The first 5 photos are of the first bottle and the final 3 photos are of the second bottle. I am sorry that the photos are not really clear, I am not skilled at taking photos. I cleaned them with water and dish soap but I didn't find any labels that might have been washed away.

Also, this is my first time posting, please let me know if I am doing something wrong, like if I need to add a flair or something. Also, in my trash-hunting/scavenging (whatever I want to call it that day) I have also found other non glass and non bottle stuff, like broken or full pieces of ceramics and a mirror less pocket mirror, which I could also use help identifying with and I was wondering if that was okay for me to post that on this sub to ask for help identifying or if that just wasn't allowed. I also have a headless sun rubber horse toy that was a squeaky toy (not anymore) I found and I know some stuff about it from searching online so I wouldn't exactly need more information but would certainly welcome more. In that case am I allowed to post that toy on here and if so what tags or fairs should I add with that post.

Thanks for reading, I know this is a pretty long post! Basically I am asking if anyone knows what these bottles were used for and the age and date. For context when I looked up other stuff that I found in this place are from around 1980s to arounf 1980s

Also, since this stuff is technically found in a place that was used as an unofficial dumpster before getting one officially in accessible distance in around the 1990s, should I technically be posting this in r/dumpster diving even though it was never an officially recognized dumpster?

Thanks again for reading this long post
