There were definitely deposits on many glass bottles in Massachusetts before the Bottle Bill. When I was about 12 years old we used to go door to door with our wagons, offer to take their bottles and we'd take a load to A&P. That money paid for laps at the Slot Car (remember those?) track. That was about 53 years ago.
