Possible Jenny Lind and a few others??

The bottles in photo 1 (Jenny Lind), photo 6 (nice early freeblown chestnut flask utility of some kind), and photo 11 (looks like a Scandinavian flask) have some value. The rest of the bottles should go in the recycling bin. The chestnut flask in photo 6 looks to be the best...

I'll add to what nhpharm has said and that is the JENNY LIND calabash MAY be a reproduction, further investigation will be needed. The chestnut is indeed nice.

Very nice finds! I don't know a lot about these kinds of bottles but the 1st and the 6th ones look like good finds. There are a lot of experts on here to help you out!
Welcome!

The Jenny Lind is original as far as I can see. The GI-107's were the ones that were reproduced. The one pictured here is one of the ones with the full wreath around Jenny and I don't think any of these were reproduced. There were a number of different ones and we would need to see the other side to see exactly which mold this flask is, but it does appear original regardless.

Thanks! I figured those 3 were likely the best of these.

Did you get a chance to take a look at the link below the picture of the Jenny Lind, I have quite a few more pictures of the bottle. Any idea on its value?

The link bellow the picture has a good amount more pictures of this bottle. If it truly is an original what sort of a price are these worth?

$75-$100 on the Jenny Lind. The last one of that style I sold went for about $70 plus shipping on eBay.

"You hit the jackpot with this chestnut; it might pay for the whole locker"

You are probably right! The chestnut looks like a Wistarberg piece except the lip is wrong. One way or another it is a very nice piece of glass.
