Wine Flask

Yep, wine bottle. Sounds like it was made by the Owens-Illinois glass company. Is there a number to the right of the diamond? That will determine the exact age.

Mathey Caylus Paris

Apparently your bottle held pills. Here's a Mathey Caylus ad from 1883. http://books.google.com/books?id=_xqgAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA2-PA14-IA1&lpg=RA2-PA14-IA1&dq=mathey+caylus+paris&source=bl&ots=TECifLnJZo&sig=9sEAm0lSRc1rKygTuf4vubavaLU&hl=en&ei=IsEWSveaJYikNbyd3a8I&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6

It's a perscription medicine bottle, circa 1930 (I saw one with a label once, don't remember where). They're pretty little bottles...I found one down at the local creek once, just lying in the dirt.

Olive Jar???

You have an English chow chow bottle (chow chow is a relish made from assorted vegetables). These were made from the early 1870's to the mid 1910's.

Easiest way to sell bottles?

It seems like a simple question, but I really havn't come across any simple answers...whats the easiest way to sell bottles to raise a little extra cash? I have some extras (nothing rare, just fairly common stuff) and I wouldnt mind getting at least something for them...even a dollar or two...
