This bottle has no markings anywhere, seam stops midway up the neck, is beginning to purple and has many bubbles. It is 8” tall with a 2” base. I’m thinking mid to late 1800’s? Also what do you think it was used for?? Beer, Wine, mineral water?? Any feedback is greatly appreciated as I’m just beginning to dig and collect.

Looks like a ketchup or bluing agent. I'd guess around 1900? Welcome to the site. LEON.

4 is a sauce bottle. 2 and 3 are probably medicine bottles, no idea what 1 is.

1 is a med, 2 looks like a sample whiskey, not sure on 3, maybe fancy olive oil? 4 looks like another ketchup to me.
