Spectacular Bottle Hunt

My first embossed catsup bottle. Late 1800s to early 1900s. I found the blue beer bottle and the two aqua blob tops and the dark brown blob top in the same spot. All within 10 minutes and I got it on video. The two aqua blob tops still have the wire inside the neck. The other brown bottle with the ceramic piece, I still have to look up. Also, my first embossed 10 ounce Pepsi bottle. There is nothing on the bottom of the mini blob tops. There is a spot on the bottle for a label though. Should be fairly easy to find out what it had in it. One of the mini blob tops is cracked, but intact. The other one is almost perfect. That bottle is definitely going on the top shelf.

That's a slug bottle, you could get your logo embossed there. Or just get them blank.

Heck of a site! Never found a round bottom myself but friends have, found the bigger thin glass round wine bottles though. yours looks fairly old like 1860-1890? Was there a reason for that style?

Round bottom bottles had carbonated liquids in them. If a cork dried out, the gas would escape. They made round bottom bottles so that the bottles could not be stood up. This prevented the cork from drying out.

Love that ketchup. I've never dug an embossed ketchup. They are a good find. Keep diggin'. You're in a good spot there.
