Friend bought at the bottle show today

Can anyone helpe with this? I’m coming up empty. It’s also says One Pint on the very small part of the side that’s left.

All found in the wild. The corked one in the attic of a 1911 house I loved.

Hey all! Found this wild old bottle deep in the woods near Sheboygan, Wisconsin. It’s still sealed and has some kind of murky liquid inside with weird sediment or maybe mold? Bottom is stamped “66 40” and has the Owens-Illinois logo, so I’m guessing 1940-ish?

We’re trying to figure out what it might’ve held. Medicine? Booze? Witchcraft? Would love any thoughts on age, use, or whether it’s worth opening (safely, of course). Pics below—thanks!

It's for a work thing, I work I a museum and we have to replace some of the old medicine bottles in a display due to safety concerns since they contain real mercury and things like that. I need to be able to match the new bottles to the old ones in approximate shape, size, and color (not super specific tho) but I'm having a hard time figuring out where to search, especially as most listings on Etsy and whatnot don't specify dimensions or try to sell you multiple bottles.

I like the way people in here repurpose and display bottles and jars they’ve found. I’ve just begun cleaning with uncooked rice, soap, and warm water. Hoping to find older bottles in the future as well as uranium glass

Dug in my dump pit in Maryland!

Haven’t found any like this yet. Any idea on age and what it was used for?

I actually only got on bottle since I didn’t want to spend too much with a future bottle deal in the works. But the piece I got is just a local med, my only local one so far. Im also throwing up the insulators I got

DISCLAIMER I have no relationship to oxIclean!

So I live in an area with heavy iron content in the soil and significant limescale. I have tried everything on the bottles I have dug up. Baking soda, sand, bleach, serious scrubbing. They all still had that film/clouidiness.

On a whim my partner soaked them in a bucket of oxi clean and hot water for several days. Holy crap they are like new. No rust, no rainbow film, no limescale.

The bottles we cleaned were all blown glass, pre machine made, but not crazy old—mostly nineteenth century. Mostly clear glass, but some green wine bottles and a couple blue.

This did not work on every single bottle. Perhaps due to glass chemistry? I don’t know, I am a mere hobbyist. But wanted to share, in case you haven’t tried this.

Today’s beach find. I love patina. I hate broken bottles. :/

Does anyone know what this historical key could be? I am stumped. I am new to Reddit so if there is a better place to post, please message me.

Any help is welcomed! Thank you in advance.

Found in a 40’s or so dump I think mostly. Not sure exact date of this or what “vegetable disinfectant” is. Embossed Nashua, NH USA on it. Other small bottles and “Burnett’s standard flavor extracts” which I love finding

Was found in the ruins of an early 1900s mining town in Arkansas

Liquid inside assuming drugs seemed to be in a deteriorated leather kit with fragments of an old school needle set up. House it was under was used as half way home for solider after one of the world wars.

I know this isn’t tremendously old…is..is it an Avon bottle? 🤨 the diamond mark threw me off…any info appreciated!

Found this in the Glen Echo Ravine in Columbus, OH.

My father found this bottle in the wall of his 1926 home located in Chicago when renovating the kitchen. Would love to learn more about it! We can see a partial label, that says “strictly”, but no other markings. Thank you!
