Default Wicked cool old bottles unearthed....

Pictured are a bunch of old bottles unearthed at an undisclosed location on Bear Island. It's interesting that the location these were found appears to be a fairly large bottle/jar dump as these are just a few of what I'm sure are many that are buried in this location. Hard to say just how old these are, but there is ample evidence that some of these are fairly old maybe 1950s or so? Many show bubbles in the glass, most are very thick and heavy, many are unusual shapes (as pictured) and one in particular is from a bottling company that once existed in Laconia so we're trying to date that one to get an idea of age of all these since it's likely they were all dumped at the same time. I highly doubt they are worth anything but it's really fun to dig them up never know what you're going to find. Figured I'd share... pretty cool to find so many still intact and in beautiful shape. By far the most interesting one is in the first picture on the bottom, the bottle was found with a plastic sleeve it fits into. Have no idea what it could be.
