    Found a cool old bottle I nearly resurrected.

    Found this bottle while digging. Most of the pieces were in the hole so I gave it a shot. Looks to be from the mid 1800s? You bottle guys can give me a precise age on it I hope. Also pictured are some other neat bottles I found recently as well.

    Nice colored glass Zrickkid , my favorite the cobalt Bromo soda could be anywhere from 1895 to 1915 , the olive colored wine bottle has the applied lip or band and is probably around 1900 to 1920 .
