Default k pap this may be a tough one.

i was walking in the woods trying to find the bottle dump to the old horse and carriage house foundation down the road from me. i found it, it is an oval hole in the ground about the size of a pickup truck. all i had to do was scrape the top layer of leaves off and i was finding old bottles left and right, there were more bottles than dirt. i found a ton of old bottles including wiskeys, pharmasuitacles (spelling?) and a bunch of cobalts off many sizes. only one problem, most of the bottle were broke. after an hour of pulling out broken bottles i came home with these 3. the only whole ones found the entire time. tommarow i will go back and start digging to see if i can find anything whole under that top layer.

the 2 small ones have no markings at all and the big one says " Hallock's choice fruit extracts" then under that "Hallock Denton & Co Newark N.j" with a 6 point star in the middle.

Default Bottles

THE FIRST TWO ARE MEDICAL LAB BOTTLES THAT APPEAR THEY COME FROM AROUND THE EARLY 1900's.COULD HAVE CONTAINED A NUMBER OF THINGS.THE HALLOCK DENTON AND COMPANY BOTTLE CONTAINED VANILLA FLAVORING (EXTRACT) AT ONE TIME. THE BOTTLE IS FROM THE LATE 1800's OR EARLY 1900's. HALLOCK DENTON HAS BEEN OUT OF BUSINESS FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. THE TWO LITTLE MEDICAL LAB BOTTLES ARE WORTH APPROX. $3.00-$5.00 EACH AND REALLY GOOD CONDITION AND THE HALLOCK IS WORTH ABOUT $7.00-$9.00.....PAPPY
