That first bottle looks like a 19th century European apothecary bottle with a ground-out and polished pontil where the 185 is scratched in the base. If you have a scale, you should see if it weighs 185 grams (6.5 ounces) as it may have been marked like that so someone could easily weigh it and determine how much of the contents were left inside. I've actually done the same thing for my containers for chemicals and other materials.
