    I recently found these two bottles along a riverbank in Iowa. The first bottle is square with corners beveled. The bottom reads PAT 87681 with a 0 off to the side, it also has a 10 on one of the sides. The second bottle looks as if it were a 3 tired skyscraper. The bottom reads PAT 98735 with a 4 in the corner. Can anyone tell me when these were made???

      Love the shapes. The third photo looks like a quart milk bottle. Don't know tho. I do see the patient # on it, have you done a search on that? And does the one say "Ball" on the bottom?

      Also there is a great site for glass bottles of all shapes sizes and colors:

      They actually both have ball on the bottom. But I read on another persons post that there is a number to tell where they were manufactured. By looking at the emblems they could be anywhere for 1933-70 something
