    The "dyed" bottles had bluing added to make them look blue as decorations. My Grandmother, born in 1913, still did this into the 1990s (with Rawleigh bottles) and told me it was common practice in her day. In latter years she used food coloring instead of bluing

    The blue bottles are from the Emerson Drug Company, and the product contained therein was Bromo-Seltzer. The name "Bromo-Seltzer" came from one of the original components of the formula, sodium bromide. The formula also contained acetaminophen, sodium bicarbonate, and citric acid, and in earlier formulas, acetanilide. Those particular bottles are from between 1911 and 1930, give or take a few years. It was used to aid heartburn, and due to the sedative effects of the sodium bromide, as a cure for hangovers. Very cool find Chigg, maybe someday I'll get to team up with ya!

    As a firefighter we still have to go into those old fuse panels and check each one after a structure fire to see if the owner stuck a penny in them. People still do it to this day. Problem is if there is a surge it will not blow and will cause a structure fire. If we find it the insurance will not pay.

      You're partially correct, as that style of bottle with a wide mouth and no neck was often used for things like salves, ointments, and creams which could be prepared by a pharmacy but the blue glass was most common for commercially manufactured products. Medicine bottles tended to be dark brown glass, and anything potentially dangerous - poisons, acids, etc. - usually came in small brown glass bottles with narrow necks, similar to the little patent medicine bottles he finds.

  • @d.b.cooper3956

    That copper and wood you found is from a wooden wash board. Maid-Rite brand if I'm correct. You can verify the pattern stamped into the metal on EBAY with ones for sale. As you know in the plating process copper is usually used as the first layer to the virgin material. The outer layer...whatever it was was used to not allow staining or rust onto the clothing with the board constantly exposed to water and whatever type of detergent was used.

    speaking of eccentricities, I DO love a bottle dump! There's a mother and daughter team in England that collect sea glass and pieces of broken, colored glass. They make homemade beads out of them. Quite fascinating, labor intensive for my liking. Love a good mystery too.

    Man! I wish you could have taken all those little blue bottles and give them to your friends 😉. They are cool!
    Could have be bitters bottles? Medicine? Or booze?
    Quite the garbage dump there.
    Yes! Keep digging it out. Sift stuff if you can. 😉

    The blue bottles were Bromo Seltzer bottles patented by parent company Emerson Drug Company of Baltimore, and made by Emerson's sister company Maryland Glass Company in the Westport section of Baltimore. The glass color was patented by Emerson as "Emerson Cobalt Blue". Original Bromo Seltzer bottles were green. The Maryland Glass Company was demolished around 2014.

    Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family! Awesome cave! luv the old bottles, i love the amber and various blue ones, especially the old perfume one, would love to have those in a collections, one of each of those actually . Nice still shots of the finds! Be careful with all that old dust! Too bad you didn't find any whole crocks in there but I guess i wouln't expect there to be any. seeing the cave struckture i'd say that looks like it could go down quite a ways once it was cleared of everything. It might be a good idea if the owner could be talked into letting you clear it and excavate it, might even add the point could be of historical value and be marked on record cave sites, (sorry forgot organization that does that). I'd sure watch that! if you do get the chance to clear it. :) Awesome video as always!

    Never in my life have I ever seen THAT many bottles of the same color in one place! Did you ever try looking into the history to find out of if maybe a glass company was on that site or not?

    The Thomas Carol and Son is a Whiskey bottle. What a great dump!
    Ever watch the Si Finds channel? He has filmed some Victorian dump digs and Mudlarking on The Thames
    Enjoy your vids so much! Cheers!
