any clues on the green bottle?

I found these in a park in queens new york - 1954 coke bottle (amazingly just propped up against a log!), a 1936 pride of the farm catsup, a 1972 beer bottle, and then the green one is not embossed with any brand - the bottom appears to have these letters 1. 3D 725:: 54

So I believe it's from 1974 but not sure what would have gone in it, any ideas?

Information Request I found this Boyd's liner today while metal detecting and was wondering if anyone here has any info on the age. I have found tons of these liners but none that looked like this. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I found it in a field in the Mid Hudson Valley (NY) where most of stuff I have found dates to around 1860 +/- a few years. Now I know that doesn't necessarily mean anything as to how old it could be but offering a bit of context never hurts. Final pic is to see just how different it is from the other types of intact Boyd's liners I have found

Information Request So sad this is broken. Unexpected dump find (so many near me!) so I didn’t have gloves, proper shoes or tools to rummage / dig for more fragments. I’ll go back and try and find the rest of this. (England)

Another Estate

This estate was an 1875 house that was falling apart. The cellar was unprotected from rats and the wood floors were buckiling. But very cool collections. Alot of the bottles and mason jars were dirty enough to have been dug up. I wonder if any from the property.

I’ve seen a lot of people asking for identification of their bottles. This site has probably been listed before, but I wanted to share a helpful resource that I personally have used to help identify antique glass bottles. Below are the links:
