Anyone collect old beer bottles

I found this in the drop ceiling while running air line. Oddly there was another but it was smashed. Looks 70s to me. Let me know if you want it.

A different type of ‘beer’.

I found this in our dining room wall when I removed the original 1961 sheet rock for our remodel.

The building that I retired from was built in 1910. Sometime around 2000 we hired a crew to enlarge a doorway in the basement of it. One of the workers brought us a liquor bottle that they found in the wall from the original build.

It was a pint bottle with a twisted neck and metal cap...prob rum or gin. (the label was unreadable)
The funny thing is that there was a small orange slice in the bottle and even after being there for 100 years the orange still had moisture in it. The cap did a good job of sealing.

Took apart a Subaru door panel once, and found a Japanese lunch sandwich wrapper.

Was it branded in any way? Or just Japanese text? Or?

My mom lived in a house that was built (the first part of it) in 1860. She found some pretty cool bottles under the house. A lot of them were four sided hand blown glass.

Anything man makes has collectors..bottles? People are out there digging up old dump & privy sites looking for them.

For me in Illinois, it was A&W.

NOTHING beat a frosty mug of A&W at the drive in on a hot summer evening after cruising. The old drive in is still there where I grew up. Hasn’t been an A&W since the late 80s, early 90s. Sometimes have this fantasy of opening it back up as a classic drive in diner, only old timey vibe, orig 60s,,,
