The 3vi would have held a prescription medicine or drug of some type.They both date around 1930-40.

Well Glasshunter 1987, Looking at your bottle pictures - I am quite sure cap removal will show you two vertical seams on the threads under the cap. If that is the case then they are too new to be considered collectable. Because - the bottles would be identified as having been made on an ABM Automatic Bottle Machine. I have a write-up for newbie bottle collectors to explain some things to look at on bottles you find or buy at a flea market. Collectable glass is normally glass that was hand blown with a blow pipe and glass that has an applied glass added to the neck when the blowpiped can be removed, And that can't happen until the makers have put a handle on the bottom of the new bottle so it can be handled and manipulated to add glass on the neck for a bottle top, and that glass has to be tooled to create the type of finish wanted on the product. So if you want a copy of my effort to help new collectors send me an email and say your interested in reading some more infol <bottlemysteries@yahoo.,com> RED Matthews
