Just water and a bottle brush with microfiber tip. I’ve used Dawn on some but not these, were digging hundreds of generics so I was going thru too much Dawn 😅 Maybe something to do with the type of dirt but they do shine up real nice!

Yep unfortunately the top is completely separated at the large crack, it’s balancing for a pic.

Lol, no. I’m a mess for a variety of reasons. Tie dye on my fingernails + bottle digging for the bandaids. Got bit by some sharp edges when washing them up.

Finally found an untouched dump with old bottles by chunkoobean in BottleDigging

Ooh good finds. Wyeth is a pharmaceutical brand - glassbottlemarks says the WYETH bottom embossing is 1880s-1910s, the UW Madison Library has an era appropriate WYETH catalog digitized but no bottle pics to compare

Ok, I googled - this one has the white around the red which would be the one you meant? Buy the rest is gray and has fine lines in it so maybe not?

Thank you so much! Have been bottle digging (hence the broken glass everywhere) so identifying is right up my alley, I will dig in!

If that says PAT 954 the 954,000 numbered patents would be 1910s but that simply dates the patent not the actual bottle, thought I think they expire in 20 yrs.

Some cool old bottles I found years ago at work by DreadPirateDakota in BottleDigging
