Historic Glass Bottle Identification
Friday January 21, 2005
From Bill Lindsey of the the US Bureau of Land Management, the Historic Bottle Glass Identification and Information Website located on the Society for Historical Archaeology's website is a fabulous resource, with lots of photographs and discussion for dating historic glass bottles.

I have a milk bottle - on the front it has (since 1852) in a somewhat round circle. at the bottom it is notched, has a (1) and (OK) on it. I cannot make out the rest of the items on the bottom. Is it worth anything?
I don’t really know–but if I were you, I’d look for an antique shop in your city (or two or more) and see what they might be interested in paying for it.

I have 2 of the same type jars. I have never really looked into finding out anything about them. Have you found anything about them yet?
I just realized that the link to the bottle identification website was broken (sorry about that!), and have now edited this old blog post to point to the right direction. I suggest you go wander around on Bill Lindsey’s page and see if you can find what you’re looking for.
