Too windy out to go to the beach, so I checked out one of the old sheds under our garage and found a couple ot things of interest..

[Magyar]

The 1861 bottle I had found last summer at the beach....don't know it's worth ( if any). The label reads: M.B & Co. 145 west 35th St. N.Y 1861

The brown "Certo" bottle I understand is quite a common find, but I just found it in the shed rafters a little while ago...had never heard of "Certo " until I just researched it.

The pay stub belonged to Hank's father ( who died at age 98 in 1989) ...hard worker...lived with us until he passed away.

I was amazed at the "withholding tax" and "old age" columns....don't know the year of the stub, I think he worked there in the '30's or 40-'s

Thanks for looking at the pics

appears to be a blob top one. If so, it's fairly old as they heat melted the tops on the neck before making them in a mold. Steve in so az

That is an awesome blob top bottle! That is what I hope to find in the next privy I dig!
