    Have a few different varieties of these, O'Connor & Sons Kanturk, Killarney Mineral Water Co, Murphys Cork, Cades Cork etc etc. Found them in middens over the years. Are they worth much (if anything) and is there a way of dating them? Some have an SE logo (Saorstat Eireann) and some don't.

    Got any pics??

    If they are are made by machine(obvious seam running from the base to the lip) then they are worth nothing.

    The Saorstat Eireann bottles most likely contained porter and would've been made around 1922(by machine) and are very common.

    I'll post a few pics over the weekend. I'd say they're pretty common-or-garden though.

    Some nice bottles there but glass doesn't float my boat - stoneware ginger beers are your only man. :D

    Mostly beer and cordial bottles with a soda shypon and a milk bottle..all pretty modern and not worth very much unfortunately.

    I quite like the Orange juice bottle as it still has its label and occasionbaly you get people lookig for soda syphons.
