Forgive me, I am new here and trying to find my way around. I posted a poison bottle but have a couple of others I would like information about. Don't know where they would fit in best.The shoe is fairly heavy. Should have taken quick measurements, but not as long as a dollar bill if that helps. History? what it is? Any value? Age? The syringes are glass and the Greene Co one still works. The other says Property of the US, the plunger is stuck and I don't want to force it. It is also glass. History? Used for? Age? Any value? The last one looks like a tuba to me. If I were to guess I would say it fits in the top of a bottle as a dispenser. But I am simply guessing. Any ideas? History? Used for? Age? Any value? No other identifying marks on any of the above. I greatly appreciate any information and help.

The shoe is a candy container, had a colored cardboard top when new, the tuba shaped item is a breast pump missing the rubber bulb that goes on the small end...........

Hello to you - imthinkingoutloud - I think thre next thing you need to do is - go to Barnes &Noble and buy a book titled "Antique Trader BOTTLES identiufication & price guide". Then read it and you will be well filled with what most of us have in our heads about the concepts of glass collecting and appreciation.I guess you got some information about your glass items. But I feel thjs book will men a lot to you. It is a great hobby that I HAVE ENJOYED FOR SOME 77 YEARS. RED Matthews

I like those syringes, and the fact that one is a government syringe is pretty cool too. I don't think they have huge value in them unfortunately, but they're a great addition to a collection!
