Here's a grouping I've recently bought for $30.  A couple I can't find any info on.  Any Whiskey, Patent Med, and Food/Fruit Experts care to offer any ideas?  I'm guessing most are pre 1900, especially the Yellow Whiskey, but some are eluding me.  A 3 pc mold Yellow whiskey goes for about $15-20 I think?  Any ideas on age, history and worth on the lot?  Thanks for looking!

Base.  What causes this little protruding ball in the center of the base?  I've noticed it on many other bottles in the past as well.  Does it give any indication of age?  ...

Boston/Importers/and/Bottlers/Trade Mark/Registered.  I'm thinking late 1800's to early 1900's?  I cant find any info at all on this one, it's quite attractive, has some bubbles and some potstones in the body and lip.  but I suppost pot stones aren't an indicator of age either really.  Any worth?

Here's another that seems TOC or so, BIM, tooled lip, clear with a straw tint, says on base: GEO. E. HEWITT & CO. BOSTON.  Another 3 pc, with a strange shape to the body.  Wine?  Any worth on this guy?

Here's a Sealed Olive Oil.  Some bubbles, and has pot stones in the seal and lip.  Cant read it all but says:  SUPERFINE: Bertrand Tieres?  Turn Mold, but no kick up.  TOC?  hard to say probably with it being foreign.  Are these worth anything?...

Here's the base, the seams stop at the begining of the indentation or cup, then its very crude looking and takes another small circular indentation right in the middle, nothing sharp or rough but very bumpy...

Base of Med. Looks like a hinge mold, I'm not sure.  The base mold line looks like an "L" with another horizontal jut at the top of the "L" on the opposite side...

Here's an interesting one.  Tooled lip BIM, circular, indent on base with concentric circle markings in indent, SCA, purpely.  Food or Fruit Jar I think?  Odd shape and lip though.  Some bubbles and fairly misshapen lip.
