You have 2 oil bottles. The Favorite one is quite a piece of history. Standard Oil was owned by John D. Rockefeller. I'd say 1890-1900. The one on the right held sewing machine oil, which was made from sperm from whales (!) Circa 1900. I had one similar at oner time.[:D]

Shouldn't that be oil from sperm whales? [:)]
