100 year old bottle!

matmit · May 4, 2012

So I was out detecting a road that is under construction and I see a piece of glass sticking out of the ground.
go over, check it out and voila!

Brandenburg & Gloede
Racine WI

Saw a similar one on a website which says it is from 1912-1915
This is just as cool as a 100-yer old coin :yes:

nice...is that person holding a rifle?

Nice find! And I believe a RARER find than a 100 yr old coin. Best part about it is that it is local (to you) How cool is that? I would love to find an old bottle with lettering from where I live.

saw a seltzer bottle from same company go for 330... nice bottle! I see that the Hutch's go for 20-50, depending on the market. Great bottle no matter what!! Great shape, great embossing.

Neat bottle

Wow now that is a cool one. Anything old with a neat picture embossed in the glass is a great find whether it is rare or not. That one must have pretty good collectors value.

100 year old bottle!
