Do you happen to know anything about this one? It just says chesebrough manfg. Co. CD. New-york. I can't find any others like this, I've just seen the ones that say vaseline.

They are also not worth anything and are very common. I don't even bother taking them home when I dig em....and I've dug those in nearly every dump for 30 years now. You will find out that in antique shops and flea markets sellers put outrageous asking prices on most every ultra common and/or worthless bottle they've gotten their hands on....and there's lots of common bottles-so they are not the best places to judge the values of your finds. Many bottles aren't worth anything at all, really. In time, you'll learn and know more. Go to a bottle show - thtere's bound to be one in your state at some point in the year. That will put things in perspective.

Not sure if this was discussed in another thread but your bottles date between 1887 - 1908 according to this .pdf by Bill Lockhart:

A Tour Through Time in Vaseline Jars

I'd love to find the ones you have :) Those are the old cork tops.

I just found an amethyst one that dates from 1909 - 1915 (continuous thread top) which he says is less common than those after this mold. Definitely a keeper for me!
