Hi I am new here. I have some bottles I would like some info on and worth if any. I will start with two that have no markings on them??
The green one is approx. 10"H 3.5"w 2.5"deep it has the number 6 or 9 on the bottom. very nice condition no cracks, scratch's or chips
the Brown bottle is approx9.5"H 2 3/4" dia. looking a the bottom it looks like hand blown. the rubber stopper n the top I don't think it belongs there?

Welcome to the forums. They look 1800s to me, maybe foreign, british. nice looking, i would think maybe twenty- twenty five for the flask type olive green bottle, and maybe fifteen for the amber, I think ale bottle..........

I don't know about the half moled - Half Molded is a term for a double gather to get enough glass for the final bottle. I don't think it applies here. I do think the round bottle was an empontiled bottle which makes it the most interesting of the two. It is the best of the two. In neither case do we know if the finish was tooled but I assume the second one was and it looks like that is the one with a cork in it.

First bottle looks English and probably 1890,s and more than likely held spirits and the Second bottle is an English Ale from the 1860,s
