I have several boxes of bottles that I've put into storage, and since I'm home alone all weekend I thought I'd take them out and do some identification.
Absorbine Junior Bottle, an antiseptic.
Dug up in a town dumpsite, 1920's most likely.
Some advertisements

Cherry Bottle
This bottle, although unembossed, is still beautiful. I identified it in a 1930's Owens Illinois catalogue

Here's a picture of how it would have looked with the cherries inside!
Drene Shampoo Bottle
Dug up at a family farm dumpsite, most likely 1930's. Drene Shampoo was introduced by Proctor and Gamble in the early 30's.

Lysol Bottle
Although it's a very common bottle, I always appreciate the beauty of common bottles no matter how often I dig them up. Lysol, if you didn't know, was a disinfectant, and according to some ads was actually marketed as a feminine hygiene product! 1920's-1930's.

Odorono Deodorant Swab!
I dug up this very interesting relic that belonged to a deodorant bottle. Since I don't have the bottle, it's difficult to date. It's so fascinating thinking about how someone used this many years ago!

Glass Shard Identification-McKee Innovation Bowl
I recently dug up these shards in one of my favorite dumpsites.
I don't know much about glass besides depression glass, so I assumed that it was EAPG, but I still wanted to figure out what it belonged to. I noticed the etched flowers and the peg foot, and concluded it was a bowl, so I searched "EAPG etched flower footed bowl" or something along those lines. After a little research, I ended up finding an almost perfect match. The feet on the bowl I found are a little longer, the bowl looks deeper, and the middle of the flower is etched as well, but it still looks like the same type/design.
Below is a picture of the bowl.
It turns out this pattern is called "Innovation", and was produced by McKee from 1916-1920. The bowl has a sawtooth rim and the glass is very thick. The flowers and buttons and petals make the bowl look so beautiful!
Thanks for reading!
