They look like art glass pieces from Blenko glass Works which is in your state. I don't know the ages, they were made in the 1900s.

AFTER DOING SOME INVESTIGATION ON THIS QUARRY THE PERSON LIVING ON THE FARM SAID IT WAS OWNED BY HIS FAMILY WHO HAS A GLASS BUSINESS. THIS USED TO BE ONE OF THE AREAS THEY USED AS A DUMPING SITE 1930-1960 UNTIL A SPRING FILLE IT IN. IT HASN'T BEEN USED SINCE THAT TIME. I CALLED THE IMPORTANT MEMBER OF THE FAMILY WHO OWNS IT, A RELATIVE LIVES THERE, AND HE HAS GIVEN ME WRITTEN PERMISSION TO DIVE THERE. NO STRINGS ATTACHED. I SHOWED HIM WHAT I HAD FOUND AND HE SAID THAT'S WAS OKAY KEEP THEM AND ANYTHING ELSE I FIND IS MILD. HE SAID HE WAS SURE THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE GOOD ITEMS THERE BUT MOST OF IT WILL BE BROKEN OR IN PIECES. EVERYTHING THEY DID WAS BLOWN. ANOTHER GREAT SITE TO KEEP ME BUSY. I AM PLAANING TO START DIVING THERE NEXT WEEK. I'LL POST PICTURES.[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
