Another good day at the dump. Got 2 hutches and a blob beer (all from Braddock), 2 hutch stoppers, a clay marble, and a neat little cruet. Unfortunately, all 3 have lip chips, but are still nice nonetheless

Help Identifying Found Bottle in Ocean

Hi! My fiance found this bottle in the ocean in San Diego. The glass is slightly aqua, there is a cork. There are seams on both sides that go all the way over the top, a small number 3 on the bottom, and what appears to be an Owen’s scar oval scratch on the bottom as well. Claude AI says 1905-1930s, but we’re so curious to learn more!

Information Request Seeking wisdom about old blue canning jars?

From what I can tell from online, these are 1910-1933. They have beautiful bubbling. Might anyone please guide me to a reliable means of determining worth? I’m seeing wildly different prices online, from practically nothing to $7000. It is so confusing.

I don’t want to take up a lot of your time when there are fancy antiques here, but if you happen to know where I should go to learn more, I’d be so grateful. One has a weird mark on the bottom.

I love beautiful old blue jars, but I don’t want to accidentally keep rolled oats in a jar worth several hundred dollars. Ha!

Thank you so much for your time.

ID Request Does this stopper go with this bottle?

Dug this up with the stopper in it, the glass colors match but the stopper isn’t ground glass and is wobbly. Would it have had cork or rubber on it originally? The shape of the bottle seems odd to have a glass stopper. Any ideas?

Just wanted to share this cool find! We discovered it while cleaning out my father-in-law's basement.
A quick google search tells us it's from the late 1800s or early 1900s, and it used to hold embalming fluid.

I’d love to learn more if anyone has run across this exact bottle before or knows more about the history!
