Old glass medicine bottles

magaag

I recently found some old glass medicine bottles in some dirt on a piece of land my family has owned for many many years. I found a few bottles in tact and many broken pieces of colorful glass, cobalt blue, teal blue, brown and clear as well as what may have been painted pottery. I am looking for help identifying Information about them such as the age of the bottles and how they ended up in the dirt.

Thanks for posting.

Your two clear medicine bottles are mid 2oth century, one was made for Bayer aspirin.

The deep aquamarine base of a bottle is much earlier than the other objects, as in early to mid 19th century.

Thanks Chris, there is much more where this came from and is probably buried beneath the ground....if I found any of the blue or teal glass bottles in tact, would they have any real value?

Hard to say - keep digging and post photos of what you find :-)
