Candies?

[lostdogie]

I have a few of these bottles I've collected over the years and always wondered what they were used for . I've heard candies and perfume amongst other things I'm just not sure . So any help would be nice .

Those are great figurals, I'd say candy all the way... very cool[]

I don't know what they were made for but my grandmother had some hanging on curtain rods with scent in them. Air fresheners?

I was thinking something along those lines to . Kind of like in the 1700s and 1800s they used something like this to cover the bad smells when walking around the cities . But as you can see the bottles in question are I'm guessing here from the 50s . Now I have seen and bought a few that where labeled candies but I've yet to see one with any kind of label or candy in one . They come in many forums and slightly different shapes . I think they are very small for candy myself but who knows I guess . And if candy why the air holes on the lid ?for a secondary use maybe ?

I was thinking they're small for that also. I think you could move the date back 20-30 years too.
They're closer to personal salt and peppers but I don't see the need for a hang loop for that.

They look like little glass grenades. Neat!
