flat bottles? flasks?

[Trying not to break it]

hi everyone, some more dug bottles. the small one is 5 3/8" tall, 2" across bottom and 3/4" deep. is this what they call coffin flask? the other one is 9" tall, 3 3/8" across bottom and 1 1/2" deep. some have bottle maker marks, illinois glass co. (c 1915-1929) and hazel atlas. any information as to what was in them and if they have a value would be welcomed. thanks, rhona

Hi, the taller bottles are ammonia bottles. They aren't really flasks, as such, and they have miniumal value.

Keep digging!

Hi Rhona, the small ones are castor oil bottles. Very little value. I don't know for sure what the larger ones are but I don't believe they contained liquor as the shape is not right. Hope this helps, Kelley

hi mike and kelly, thanks for the information, they didn't hold very much as flat as they are. they are still neat bottles but fall over easy. rhona
