I unearthed this nice bottle at my mine.
Not sure of the age or if it has any value but it's in excellent condition and I have a place for it. ![]() I cleaned it carefully and well using techniques that I researched online. If anyone knows old bottles... I'd appreciate any insight as to what it is. Looks like a soda bottle. ![]() The glass is relatively thick and has a nice light lavender or amethyst coloration to it. The lettering "Kuner" is raised and beveled. Here are a couple pics. ![]() ![]() -------------------- /l ,[____], l---L-OlllllllO- ()_) ()_)--o-)_) BLACK SANDS MATTER!

Great info Chris, thanks for the update!
![]() Love the old bottles, especially the ones with blues and purples. ![]() Here are some bottles we found in an old dump near Fairplay several years back, but none as fine as your was. -------------------- Education is the key to the future,

QUOTE Here are some bottles we found in an old dump near Fairplay several years back, but none as fine as your was. Hi, I'm fairly new to this forum but I'm an old hand at bottle collecting. I was an avid collector from about '70 and dug, sold, traded antique bottles for many years. Swizz, the bottle you found is a transitional bottle from the early 1900's as the manufacturers went from pre-machine made bottles to ABM, or automatic bottle machine made bottles. It is an interesting find and as Oklapony mentioned, may indicate a dump site worthy of further excavation. Mrs. CP, from what I can tell from the photos, your bottles are probably circa 1920. They appear to be mostly machine made and typical of that period. The log cabin syrup tin also appears to be of that era. They were first made in that shape in 1887 and with a few changes, lasted until the 40's. They have also been made in more recent years for a short revival. Hope y'all find this helpful. Rockytop |
