The glass looks to be interwar years, 1920's-30's. The ribbed green glass bottle is for poison, its made that way to stop blind people taking it by accident, they also come in blue, sometimes marked not to be taken or Poison or rarely both.

I would not worry about the poison bottle, just give it a wash. I find these on a fairly regular basis, found one only last week, so no worries. Not sure why on one else has responded, though you might have been better posting this in the forum below this one.

Agree with Bond. The bottles date from the 1920's to late 30's. Earlier bottles are usually made of aqua (pale green) glass and often have hand applied lips. From about the first world war on better machine made methods were introduced using cheaper clear glass we see today. The brown insulator was used for low voltage (240v) overhead power lines and sometimes are dated. Poison bottles were ribbed as they were introduced in a era of poor lighting and illiteracy so when reaching into gloomy cupboards for something to drink you were less likely to grab a poison by mistake as you could distinguish the poison bottle by its ribbed feel.

Problem with Scotland is that every small farm or croft had its own dump where bottles scrap etc were thrown away. I have one of these on my land and can visit 4 others in a five minute walk. The items you show are though pre war typical of what can be found in most civilian dumps. With your dumps the question is are they situated on old military establishments or training areas.

The shoe heel in "0020" has the same grip pattern as RAF pilot's shoe remains I have found on a couple of early WWII crash site excavations - there my be a civvy equivalent though? Also the bottles look to go up to the 50s/60s, so the military crockery could have been bought as surplus? Is there any history to the site to indicate military use?
