*This is my most up-to-date list. Buy 5 or more bottles and I will make a price reduction.*
The bottles are divided into categories, so please read through the entire list. I have duplicates of some of them if you need more than one copy. If you have any questions, please email me. Any specific questions will be answered when I return home from work at night.
Also, I have other returnable soda bottles (Orange Crush, Squeeze, Sprite, etc.), beer bottles, medicine bottles and household bottles that are not listed here. Most date between 1900 and 1950. Just ask, and I'll pass along the information when I return home from work at night.

5. (3) Unembossed, label only soda bottles excavated in the old WILLIAMSBURG, VA landfill. This landfill dates to c. 1918. Very thick glass bottles produced by OWENS GLASS CO. Embossed [O]36, 3[O]7 and 3[O]7, respectively. One has a 1 ½" heel bruise, and one has a ½" freeze ding on the heel. Light internal haze inside one. The best example is very clean and clear w/ a 5mm divit chip on the side. Interestingly, this botle has an embossed collar at the top of the neck. These bottles are listed not so much for their value, but for where they came from--trash carried from Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg. I dated this dump from a plastic 1917-1918 pocket calendar I found mixed in with the bottles--the calendar and the Model-T Ford parts came from a garage that operated 1 mile from the dump back in 1918, nearly 10 years before John David Rockefeller began the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg.
6. Various shapes and sizes of "ROLLING ROCK" ND/NR beer bottles.
