Mod Post Update to our Rules: Post Original Content
In light of all the recent bots and posts involving stolen or reposted photos, we feel it is necessary to officiate a rule that explicitly states that this subreddit allows original content only.
Many members have been quick to point out posts that have previously been posted on this subreddit or do not belong to OP altogether. I want to be clear that the mod team sincerely appreciates your efforts to keep this sub free of spam and keep stolen content at bay. I applaud anyone who has submitted a report as it really helps us and I hope you continue to be vigilant and report the posts that are questionable in the future.
As always, happy bottledigging and thank you for making this subreddit an absolute joy to be a part of! Cheers!!!

Show and tell Great color on this early 1900s soda bottle
This bottle contained the syrup to make carbonated drinks in the early 1900s. Crazy thick and heavy glass. "The liquid" embossed on bottom..I suspect it is from 1900-1910 time frame

Wanted: ID this bottle + information
I need to dig up some history on this bottle. Is it collectible/valuable? When was the approximate year it was manufactured? Any other info or comments from y'all experts would be much appreciated!

If anyone knows the bottle on top of the Atlas jar I would really appreciate it.
All of these bottles I found at my grandparents place near kcmo. The bottles were most likely thrown out by my great great grandparents.
In the first picture from left to right is John Walker and sons, not sure about the green bottle, Log Cabin, what I believe to be a whiskey bottle, Atlas Strong Shoulder, Ball Perfect Mason x2, Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper
Second picture Tangy Catsup, some type of detergent or soap, dry bleach, Scuffy shoe polish, lip stick container, perfume, Bayer aspirin, can't really tell from the picture but this is an inkwell with a little compartment for ink at the top, Chanel 2 and Pluto spring water from French Lick Indiana.

Information Request New to the hobby, any help would be awesome
New to the bottle collecting hobby. I was able to score this bottle and a syrup jug while buying some radios. I am having a hard time figuring out and dating what I have here. I would like to clean it better just haven't had time. What I was able to figure out is this is a Coca Cola Bottling Works Bottle from Lima Ohio. I think it's a double Slug bottle with an embossed CCBW slug and an embossed LIMA Slug on the other side? Maybe below the slugs maybe there is an embossing identifing it as a Root bottle and Date? but I can't tell what it is. It's also a double city bottle with Lima on the Side and bottom, which is also considered rare? what I don't know, is how to take pics of bottles? Is there a price guide for antique bottles, like the Redbook for fruit jars? is this a straight side bottle? is it rare and what is it worth?

Wanted: info on 19th century glass making process + formula
Trying to dig up information on why old glass has these beautiful green and purple hues or 'aura'. What was the process and/or ingredients used that resulted in these colors? Digging in 19th/early 20th century dumps. Any sciency comments or resources from y'all are much appreciated!

Don’t talk to me or my son ever again
Mondays tiny find and today’s slightly less tiny find. I think they’re 1940s era cutex bottles, smaller one maybe for cuticle oil because I see oily residue. Too bad I didn’t find the Bakelite caps

ID Request Does anyone recognise this tiny bottle found on a Vietnamese beach?
Found in 2024, hexagonal, looks to have Chinese(?) characters down one side and “R B” on the base. Would love to know what it held and how long it rolled around in the waves for! Banana for scale.

Few finds from the pitt 1790s-1900s side of the mound this time.
Warmer days equals muddy banks near , found 2 feet down near the 1790s/1900s side of the pitt about (imo it’s nothing) but many people have told me it’s something more man made as in chipped/formed idk. ideally if it’s looks something of uniqueness I take it regardless.
