Cobalt Bromo Seltzer Bottle, Emerson Drug Co., Maryland

This bottle contained Bromo Seltzer, made by the Emerson Drug Company, out of Maryland, U.S.A.  I'm not too sure if it would have came in pill or powder form.  The bottle has a wonderful cobalt colour and it measures some 5" tall.

1960's Coca-Cola Bottles.

These two bottles represent the classic Coke bottle design.  I found these at an old dump site that was being turned into a park trail system.  They were part of a much larger group of bottles found at this site.  They're really not worth much money wise, but I think that this is the iconic Coke bottle design.

Green 1916 Coca-Cola Bottle.

Here is the rarer of the two Coca-Cola bottles.  There is an amber variant of this bottle which is even harder to find.

Early Aqua Coca-Cola Bottle (circa 1916?)

This is an early Coca-Cola bottle that was bottled in Toronto, Canada.  I remember reading that these were made around 1904 to 1916;  I am not sure as to precisely when this one was made.  In my next post, I'll show the more rare green glass variant.  Both bottles were apparently dug up at the old Expo 86 grounds.

Blog Introduction.

This blog is going to be about old bottles.  I will feature an old bottle or group of bottles in every post, as well as a brief description of them.  I am in no way an authority or expert on this subject, so please forgive me if I don't always have the corrrect information.  I began collecting bottles many years ago, and I appreciate the art and the design as well as the history found in and on each of them.
