The amber bottle stands 10 1/2" tall. It has 2 B's and a M on the front. I have tried searching this, and can't find anything. The second bottle stands 8 1/4". It has a big B and a small r on the front of the bottle. Does anybody know what the letters stand for on either bottle ? How old are they? Thank you in advance!!:) It took me 2 days, but I figured out how to not have my pictures sideways!! Yay Me!! :eek:

The beer bottle is almost certainly from a company with a name like B______ Brewing and Malting Co. Hard to say what the first B would stand for though, hopefully someone recognizes it. It should date to the latter couple decades of the 19th century. The other looks like some sort of fancy bathroom product with that ornate base. Cologne maybe? I don't recognize the logo.

The big amber bottle is definitely a beer from late 1800s perhaps our Bruce will chime in, he's the beer bottle expert. The other looks like a food type product to me, perhaps some sort of extract, or maybe cosmetic like a lotion.

Ken, Thank you so much!!!! What an interesting story! When you first said Boone and Crockett, that would have made sense to me because my father was a scorer for Boone and Crockett!! I looked on ebay and saw the bottle caps and bottle openers for Two brothers, I did not see any bottles though. You are saying that the BBM bottle is a Two Brothers beer bottle or the BR Co is? I am new, so you need to spell things out for me! lol Would you know how old it is? Or what the worth would be? Thank you so much on commenting on my pictures!! :)

How did you get your bottles so clean? I've used bleach and it still doesn't get everything.
