This is a lot of 2 aqua blob-top bottles, beer and/or soda. The first and larger of the bottles is from "Wm Lusk, Camden NJ," which is embossed in the circle slug on front. William O. Lusk was one of three bottlers in Camden in the late 1800s. I have seen that he was a brewer in other bottle descriptions, so probably a beer bottle. It has an applied finish. There is residue under the collar, I don't know if possibly it had a wire and this is rust, or if this is just some solid accretion from being buried. The back is embossed with, "This bottle not to be sold."
The second bottle is from the Root Glass Works in Indiana. The bottom is marked, "ROOT 1," so other references I have found date this circa 1906-1909. It looks like a light seam continues around the lip, so I'm not sure how this bottle was manufactured.
Disclaimer: I am not a bottle/glass expert or collector, I am merely a seller of others' collections and found items. I have a base of knowledge, and decent resources for research, but I will likely be wrong and make mistakes. Please do not take my descriptions as guarantees, and I am always open to correction and information. I do the best that I can.
Please look at the pictures and read the Condition and Description of every item you bid on or buy on eBay.

Items are sold as is. I try to capture the condition and any flaws in the pictures and include them in the description. If you have any questions or want more pictures, please ask. I will also combine shipping as items allow (weight, shape, fragility) and I'm willing to work within the constraints of eBay rules if you have multiple auctions not ending at the same time. Thank you for looking and bidding! The items I am putting up for sale and auction, if they are not sold on eBay, will be headed to Goodwill or the landfill. I wish every item and every collector to have a chance, and I hate seeing history thrown in a dirt pile. If you like an item, please bid or buy, or make an offer, so it is not lost forever.
