1930s-ish bottle dump help?

[FerretGirl]

Hi everyone! I'm hoping to get some of your bottle expertise! Moved into a 113 year old home outside of Philadelphia and set to rehabilitating the horribly neglected gardens. Digging to make a tomato garden on top of a small hill near the house, I started digging up a whole bunch of stuff. I took a few of the bottles inside and started doing some research. This forum has been invaluable! Thank you very much for all the guidance you've already given me! From what little I've learned as a bottle newbie, it looks like I've stumbled upon the home's dump and I'm digging up 1920-1940 bottles (mostly ketchup and fruit jars, really). I don't really care about, "OMG, what is this worth?!" I'd just like to identify what some of these suckers are, just to know. Here are some photos. Can you help me?

Research indicates that the one on the left is a typical pickle jar. The one on the right though?

Here's the bottom of it.

Both of these have Hazel Atlas stamps on the bottom. Right is about the size of a juice glass.

Stamp on the bottom of the left one looks odd. Off center and kind of smudged.

Don't know what any of these guys are! No labels on the bottom. The one on the far left is very heavy and thick, the bottom has no marks, but is all wrinkly.

These ones are all smaller than my thumb.

I think this one looks like it has a pour spout!

Couldn't get a very good picture, but it looks like it says QTY or OTV. Didn't find that mark on the glass bottle marks website

Maybe an M with a line under it? A W under a line? A 3 with an unfortunate crease? Again, didn't find the mark on the site. But I'm bad at distinguishing marks, too. I thought that the F. Weber Co Sphinx was a person on a sled!

Extracts? They're roughly the size of an extract bottle. No marks on the bottoms. Some have numbers, but that's it.

You've made it to the bottom! Thanks very much for reading. I appreciate the patience you've taken with a newbie!

3 pictures down from the top I see an olive jar and a jelly type jar. Most of them are food bottles & salad Dressings pickles etc. The small ones are assorted meds. It looks like the one with the pour spout is melted from the pic.

OK, here's what you got: 1st pic has two 1930ish all purpose food jars - could be mayo, relish, pickles, jam, whatever, cant tell without the label. Tall bottle in the 3rd pic is an olive bottle, 'juice glass' is a jelly jar, although they also came with things other than jelly in them, peanut butter and stuff like that. 5th photo has a sauce bottle of some sort on left, the two paneled bottles are horseradish, and the little shot glass is, well, a little shot glass[]. In the little bottle photo, the three round ones are pill or drug bottles (one is slightly melted, not a pour spout), the square one probably food coloring, the fancy one a sample Coty perfume bottle(that's what the embossing on the bottom is - big 'c' around 'oty'). The two corkers in the last photo are extracts, the screw top a pharmacy bottle. Nothing of major value here, but if you're having fun who cares? Keep digging - there's probably something really cool a little deeper...

Erin,
The one on the right was probably a mayo or mustard. Many "generic" jars would just have another label, unless you see a "Patent applied for" moniker on the jar somewhere.

Thanks guys! You're the best! I'm totally stoked right now!

...except for now I owe my husband a beer. I said, "pour spout" he said, "melted" and we decided that drinks would be on the person y'all voted for. Damn. []

I'm definitely having fun! This task was really grueling until now. It's a little more fun wondering what I'm going to uncover at the next minute (even though I know it's not "valuable" stuff) instead of just cussing at all these stupid plants that have been allowed to run wild for decades.

[&:] Of course, the problem now is that I'm tempted to keep digging up the whole hill instead of planting food for my family! LOL

This pic is about two months old (I've since built a retaining wall at the bottom), but it gives you an idea of what I've been up to and the shape of the hill. I started digging right above the line of rocks at the top.

And I understand this is a little like asking, "you're a chef, can you farm?" but does anyone recognize this structure? It's about 5 feet away from the edge of the hill, further into the forest than the house. Was COVERED in plants and vines. I haven't officially measured it yet, but my dog likes to sit inside it when I'm working up there. If she can fit in there, the inside is maybe 4 foot square. It's built of the same stones and mortar as the house. Looks like a really big grill to me, like a smokehouse grill.
