Hello again...
I'v been snooping around some old farm properties and have stumbled apon what looks to be an old dump site. ( Will post separate thread about the whole thing). The area is a steep slope with a river below, I have done some "swimming" and have recoverd some very interesting bottles. My question pertains to the attached specifically.
This bottle I found has the embossed letters " The Purity Bottling Works, Ansonia Conn". Contents 7 Fluid oz. Around the crude base has the code, D.O.C. 72-5 widely spaced out. It also has what looks to be an "inclusion" stuck in the glass. Looks to be burnt wood, or ash. I know this is a crown top bottle, and have found late 1800s and early 1900s bottle fragments at this location.
My question is from what era, and if possible can a date be applied to this piece of history? The bottle is in immaculate condition for sitting at the bottom of a river for 90+ years....... Looked like a stone when i found it. :)
Thank you for any information you, or anyone can provide...
Jeff
