    Something like this? I found this bottle along with many more in New Orleans. Found it while working with a company renovating houses in the French quarter. Pre-Katrina. They were burried aprox. 6 ft in the ground. While diging them up I also found silverware a couple silver cups and a platter. The biggest find from that hole was a 2.2 kart diamond that my wife wears now. While I was pulling these items out a employee told me that the corner of the property where I was diging was where an outhouse use to be... Ugh...
  • Hey Justin My husband Calvin got to digging around the "ole home place" that has been past down through a few generations and over the last month he has found some pretty amazing bottles and I have done the research on them and lots of them are the ones that you are looking for. There are tons of soda bottles, perfume bottles, medicine bottles(very old), dishes, pyrex measuring cups, medicine bottles with measurements on side of bottles, all colors from light green, aqua, blue, amber, clear, embossed, painted labels and I found A beautiful blown glass vase, he also started pulling out parts of a 1956 truck....as much as there was it seemed he was bringing the whole thing in piece by piece..lol. We have such a variety and when I read your post I thought I would let you know of our massive collection that he has dug up and I have carefully cleaned, or some I gently cleaned to preserve antique value. You can contact me at patriciahuln@yahoo.com, Have A nice Day!
  • Hello Again Justin, just uploaded pic of this bottle for you to give you a general Idea. It has a corked screw top approx. 3 1/2 long and on bottom embossed 7 then I with a circle round the I then # 6 beside the I and below that a # 23. I did my research and this is one of the ones from your co. from early 1900's, look forward to hearing from you.

  • Not sure what this one is, but would love an "expert" to tell me its age. Would be swilling to sell. Says "owens" on bottom. 3 1/2 on front and has CC measurements on sides.
