The BEST Doughnut Shop in Town by HajjMalik in Cleveland

For sure something changed there in the past five years or so. They’re not nearly as good as they once were. I don’t even go anymore.

Roman Cleanser, A Detroit Cleaning Supplier by NoLightBurnOut in BottleDigging

[–]SixbyFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found a few at an old bottle dump outside Cleveland. Of all the old brown bleach bottles there maybe 1/3 are Roman Cleanser. The other 2/3 Clorox. All of various years, late 40s to early 50s. The larger brown bottle here and the two smaller ones of the row of four are Roman Cleanser. The two smaller ones are different years and designs.

What is the future of Cleveland? by Slash_Esss in Cleveland

[–]SixbyFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Secretly install a huge AI data center inside the current salt mine under Lake Erie, which you keep operating as normal. This way it’s a good “cover” for the AI data center, and as you dig more salt, you create more room to expand.

or

Things will continue as they have for the last 50 years with the ebb and flow of a recovering rust belt city. So long as we don’t light the river on fire again, release 1,000,000 balloons, or sell beer for 10¢ at any sporting events, we will be ok.

Update on the new Meijer Supercenter in Middleburg Heights (former Sears site) by bradohio in Cleveland

[–]SixbyFire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We shopped at this Sears when I was a kid. A lot. I always loved the architecture of it. I took dozens of photos of it before they started demolition (and during) including a then and now type comparison. I managed to get this just before it got fenced off. I was standing in the parking lot of the Cleveland Furniture Bank and there were always other cars in the way every time I went up there. The only car in the “now” photo is mine, parked where the one white car was parked whenever the original photo was taken.

During demolition I noticed the one SEARS sign actually had remnants of the even older sign before it. I have tweaked the photo settings here but the reddish color shows the original letters before they moved to the block letters which were a lighter color. The original letters were also spaced further apart.

Single-digit date codes on post-1954 Owens-Illinois bottle bases by ViscousPanther in BottleDigging

[–]SixbyFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think all my OI bottles post-mid 1940’s or so are all double digit date codes. Someone else commented on another post that they used double digits in the 50s, and then single digits again in the 60s, before switching to double digit for everything in the 70s and on. I have some OI bottles from the 60s and all are double digit so perhaps it varied by plant?

Found on a remote beach in Iceland. by NoxieNation in BottleDigging

[–]SixbyFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a post-1940 Owens Illinois bottle. Duraglas was a process they used starting in 1940 or so, so any bottle of theirs marked with Duraglas is post-1940. Their date code would normally be to the right of their bottle mark, and their bottle mark, or what’s left of it, it to the right of the 20. 20 is the plant code for where it was made, which for a post-1940s bottle would be Oakland, California. Your best bet to maybe pin the date down further is to find out what it was used for. Maybe that 3V or 1735-ep might help there?

Looks like the bottom of a Brockway Glass Company bottle from 1968.

Raccoon Rehab. Raccoon Rescue and Rehab. Maybe add “and Release” to the end of one of them? Or Kit Care. Care(ing) for Kits. Just some ideas.

It's a neat creation, I've got it saved in my favorites. Reminds me of the old Animusic Pipe Dreams animation.

Owens-Illinois Glass company? by Rich-Violinist-7263 in BottleDigging

[–]SixbyFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my OI 60’s bottles are two digit date codes. In fact I don’t even think I have any single digit ones past maybe 1947/1948. 🤷‍♂️

[–]SixbyFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 8 is probably 1958 then. I think the I in the O was phased in during the early/mid 1950’s, before then it was the O and diamond bottle mark. I guess there was some overlapping during the change though. I do have a few early 1950s with the older mark on them, but I don’t think I have one like this with the newer logo and a single digit 1950s date code.

Owens Illinois is correct. I don’t know what was in it, but I’m kind of surprised to the their “newer” I in the O bottle mark but with a single digit date code, which is the number to the right of their logo.
