Cool Old Bottle I Found Options

Nice early bottle😉
A bottle cleaning tip for you bottle collectors is to use super iron out. Soak for 24 hours and scrub, make sure you get concentrated iron out inside the bottle as well. Fine sand works great for the inside.

Great info Chris, thanks for the update! Nice finding out more information on your old bottle to help tell it's story!
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.

Hello Rockytop,

I think Swizz started a pretty cool thread and I was sure hopping someone with knowledge would offer some insight. I would like to pick your brain some time about some bottles I have collected through the years. With me you never know where I might pop up. I've walked the banks of the Mississippi after a flood, poked around old farm dwellings in Kansas, and even explored some old foundations in Georgia along the cost that was only accessible during low-tide. I have researched some of my finds on line and have come to realize there are certain characteristics that a person should look for while bottle hunting. #1, Glued in bottom or sides, #2, a cork stopper, and #3, most old time glass has many imperfections like bubbles in it. How am I doing so far? I have a few that match those descriptions. I think most are what I call the common, "Snake Bite" remedies that were sold by traveling salesman. I'll make the promise of posting up some pictures some day and you can tell me what you think. Have a good one, Woody.

Here is an old foundation site in the marshlands of Georgia. There were lots of bottles and all had the bottoms glued in.

glued in bottom🤔 explain that one for me.
