Welcome to the forum!

Nice bottles, what I can see of them. All likely contained beverages originally. Some member(s) on the eastern coast will know more specifics. I'm not familiar with the brands, but will hazard to guess that the dark amber bottle held ale or beer. A quick Google search on "Wm. House Lyons NY antique bottle" returned several images of the company's bottles over what appears to be at least a few decades of production; so, the information is out there! I did not see a photo in Google images of one with a mug-style base other than your own example. Is your finished with a Crown closure lip, a Hutchinson stopper or blob top and etc.?

Please, as well as overall views and base images, always include detail photos of the neck and lip area of bottles when seeking information on their age, origin and likely use or contents. When picturing the neck and lip area, try to focus on the mold seam as that area will often tell the most about the era of manufacture.

thanks for the suggestions. I am very new to this and don't really know all the terminology for bottle features so I can't describe them well. I did find the info on the lyons bottle. it was prouced in Cyde NY by Ely, Sons and Hoyt circa 1886-1895. see new bottom pic.

The brown one is a beer bottle made by the Mississippi Glass Co. and dates from 1878 to 1884. https://sha.org/bottle/pdffiles/MississippiGlass.pdf

If you're looking for information about British bottles, why not ask British bottle diggers?
