Nice bottles. I have a gaggle I found during a 100 year old landfill excavation I worked. Pretty neat finds. Coke, a lot of gin, medicinal, and odds and ends bottles were found

I have a similar deal but it's not a landfill it's a dump that is now part of the Michigamme river so I have to dive a few feet down to get at the good stuff!

What do these sell for? I'm kinda guessing on prices! I'm into antiques but I'm pretty green on the bottle part of it...

No idea. never really looked into it. But FWIW, one of the operators during the dig found an unbroken clay scotch whiskey bottle. he said they were going for over a hundred to several hundred in pristine condition.

How old do they figure the Scotch bottle is?
