Brown whiskey bottle possible prohibtion era?
Not sure about the bottle and glass industry and I am an avid metal detecting enthusiast. Came across a huge bottle dump in a site where me and a couple of friends go detecting. Most bottles seem to be from late 1800s to early 1900s. Would anyone be able to take a guess on this particular bottle and maybe even a value? It says on the bottom made in USA and on the front, "Federal law prohibits resale of this bottle" Along with this bottle, here are some others I came across. There are many more like these that we are still unearthing and can take months to get most of them out intact.

Liquor bottles of this era are not really worth much unless they have labels / packaging.
Undoubtedly you will find a lot of items that have little value but it can be worth continuing for the exceptions - older items tossed in, milk bottles and some other items of the era.
Good luck and please report back with other photos
I look forward to seeing more of your discoveries.
