Lots of bottles over two weeks of occasional looking. Don’ think any are pre-1900 nor worth much, some are pretty nice looking though. Posting overall snap shot and some groups with specific questions.
First up, Mason jars and aqua. Couple ball jars, an atlas and others. Can’t find anything on the large HW Pettit jar, any info on that?
Also two sept finds of exact same small hex bottle with old screw top. Each says FGC6. Only thing I can find is maybe Forster’s glass company from UK. Anybody else seen these or know what they are?

Nice finds! Looks like some are of decent age, I suspect you've got at least a couple of pre-1900 ones in there, or at the very least just shortly after 1900.

Great thanks - no idea what the little hex-aqua ones are (my guess was Forster's Glass, UK based on the mark) but they are pretty little jars. And the large HW Pettit jar seems old and is from Westville NJ, but I can't find much online about that firm. Thanks again for the insights. Was hoping someone on here had encountered these specimens before. I'll post some group shots next of the many medicine bottles and some "branded" little bottle like "hires extract" and "Rem" gun oil bottle.
