For general questions about bottle manufacturing, age, type, and a wealth of other historic bottle related information consider visiting the... Historic Glass Bottle Identification & Information Website This is a comprehensive website devoted to the identification of (largely) American made bottles produced from the late 1700s until the 1950s. This free web based resource was created by the author of this High Desert Historic Bottle Website in a cooperative effort between the Bureau of Land Management (my ex-employer; I'm now retired) and the Society for Historical Archaeology. It is intended to be a tool for archaeologists, bottle collectors and the general public in identifying the type and approximate age of a wide array of bottles made in the U.S. or Canada during the period listed. |
