Grew up along the Susquehanna River in central NY. Was the best place a boy could grow up. Also was an old gravel pit extremely close too with large pond with all sorts of stuff to explore and fish.

Out of the many many different activities we did on days from building BMX trails, sports, bike racing, fishing and so much more was walking up and down the banks finding stuff. The river from rising from floods and morons littering would cause all sorts of stuff to collect along the banks. One was bottles like these. We used glass coke bottles as trophies after bike races.

Glass bottles seemed so cool when younger. And they still kinda are. I’ve never really cleaned them out properly. They didn’t spend 75 years in dirt or anything so the glass isn’t ruined. Only a few I can actually tell what date they are. A few have 2 number code on bottom. Like one says 83. Most I am not sure when they’re from. Guess they are all from 60’s to early 80’s.

We should go back to glass btw. Plastic is awful. All are old enough they all say “No Refill”. If anyone knows what the symbols on bottom mean or know the dates somehow lemme know. I really like the two Mountain Dew green ones.
