This is a little display I have a work (cause my wife won't let me keep everything out at home).
Two on the front row are marked as ink bottles (Fre-Flo and Shaffers Skrip), do you think the other two are inks as well?
There is a small creamer to the far left, any idea on its age? The tall one at center is unidentified. There is also a Saymans, a Halitosine, a couple of MOM's and a insulator that dates 1881-1890.

Not only that, but when things are hectic or stressful, I can pull one down and do a web search for it or look up a maker mark for a refresher or one of my favorite things is to try and find original advertising for the product. It is interesting to find a magazine page for sale on ebay or somewhere with the same bottle on it from the 30's or 40's.

Halitosine is an all purpose mouthwash/antiseptic. The company started in 1934.

Might be Inks, but, could be paste, it came in almost the same style, especially if there was a dauber in the jar. Without the dauber pastes usually had larger mouths than inks. AND the colors are great!........Andy
