Hi,
I found 2 new bottles from the old farmsite. The first one appears to be a perfume/ink/paint bottle. It is about 1.8" high and 1.0" wide (sideways) and 1.5" wide on front and back sides. The only marks are on the base: "18" wide a line under it and a backwards "3" directly to the left of "18". There are 2 seams that run up to the lip.

The other bottle has a lid with a hole in the top. The bottle is greenish/amber in color and 1.8" high and 1.8" across the base. There are no markings. Looks like a medicine (injection) bottle for horses/cows, etc.. Both bottles have some fire damage, but I would still like to know what type of bottles these are, their approx. age and manufacturer(s). Please look at the photos below. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Matt

Both looks to be from the 40's or 50's. The top bottle is probably perfume (nail polish??) the bottom is definitely a med.

Being newer and unembossed, I don't think their worth much, if anything. But as I always say : It doesnt matter what their monetary value is. If you like it it's valuable.

True. I know that I love collecting bottles because I get excited over virtually worthless bottles! Tomorrow is another day!
