[attachment=4 bottles for appraisal_opt (1).jpg] Here's a couple more I'm not finding much info on..... The amber bottle ( 6 1/2" tall ) is fluted 1/2 way around and plain the other half. The 6 1/2" green one beside it has E B &C Co Ltd on the bottom, the 2 barrel bottles ( mustard ?) are 5" tall - one rocks back and forth on the table and there is no embossing on them at all , and the last green one has only 3 raised dots on the bottom.TnksDave

Not sure about the amber. Probably some type of medicine. The ridges could indicate that the contents were poisonous. Next to that is likely a table sauce bottle like worcestershire sauce or some other sauce. The two barrels are (good guess) likely mustard jars. And the one to the far left resembles an Eno's Fruit Salt bottle from what I can see of it, so probably a food bottle.Hope this helps!

Thanks MichaelFla - so do you think the barrel shaped ones are the likeliest to sell on Ebay or the amber one.Dave

The amber poison should sell. None of the rest would be worth the shipping cost so are unlikely to sell on eBay...

One other thing to note, those two 'green' ones you described are actually aqua, which can have a bluish to greenish tint, but are still aqua. A description could say 'bluish aqua' or greenish aqua' and still be correct. That will help keep returns down. Al The barrels are cool & quite collectible.
