Description
Hello, first time poster, long time collector. I recently bought some land up in New Hampshire, and while digging the foundation of the house I found two of these bottles, I'm guessing they are from the civil war era, there is what looks like a stamp on one that is nearly unreadable. Any info on these would be appreciated, also what they are actually called, Thank you.

Re: Stone Bottles worth/history?
Coincidentally, I am also a first time poster in New Hampshire - and I don't know much, but I just saw a very similar bottle to yours, last weekend.
It was in a small, collectibles-antique store that is part of a campground near Laconia. I don't remember the name, and it is seasonal shop - the folks there are terrific. Patient and kind.
Maybe they can provide some info.
Good luck
