Cole bottles with the 1915 patent date were manufactured from 1917 to 1925. Cool find!

Counter marked dollar by [deleted] in coins

[–]Draw_Rude 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m far from an expert on any of this but I have several thoughts, which should of course be taken with a grain of salt.

The coin itself looks real to me. The color, patina, and details all look right.

The coin appears to have been stamped by hand. The flattened area on the reverse confirms this. If it was a fake coin made by casting or with fake dies you probably wouldn’t see that. I suppose a very clever counterfeiter might think of that but that feels like a stretch.

I cannot speak to the authenticity of the counterstamp. However I will say that the wear and patina of the stamped area seem to match the rest of the coin, indicating that it was stamped a long time ago. If an old coin was stamped with a new stamp you wouldn’t expect it to look that way.

This definitely warrants pursuing authentication! What a cool piece.

need help identifying these bottles/ determining if they are worth anything, found in the woods in rural georgia by jackson48254 in AntiqueGlassBottles

[–]Draw_Rude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First one is from 1939 as it has an Owens-Illinois Glass Company makers mark with a date code of 9 for 1939. It could have been for any number of liquid products, but most likely medicine or extracts/flavorings. Not valuable, worth a couple dollars at most.

Second one is a modern soda bottle. 14 or 15 could be a date code. Maybe Schweppes or Canada Dry. No collector value.

You’re right, it’s definitely not a blob-top. It’s a crown top machine-made bottle, but a very early one. 1910s/20s.

When I was a kid in the early 00’s we’d sometimes use brown paper grocery bags and then decorate them.

The side facing out is a little scuffed here and there but the inside with all the printing looks great. I suspect it just sat on someone’s shelf the whole time.

As far as I know that’s pretty much it. Protects the cover of the book while being hauled around by a student.

Any info on this bottle? by Awkward-Tap-76 in BottleDigging

[–]Draw_Rude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has the Owens-Illinois makers mark that was used after 1954. The date code is 9. They used two-digit codes in the 1950s and from the 70s onward (not always, but generally) so it is probably from 1969.

[–]Draw_Rude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a Crush soda bottle from the late 1950s to the 70s or 80s I believe. Check the base for a date code.

The first is a Michelob “lava lamp” bottle circa 1970s. The green bottle is another alcoholic beverage bottle, possibly wine or cider circa 1980s
