I. D. Help

[stefan]

Can anyone help me with age or use of these two bottles from Santa Maria, CA?
Thanks,
Stefan

MMMMMM... Looks like whiskey and pickles. Not sure of the value though. I love that little pumpkinseed flask. Swizzle

Thanks Swizzle. Any idea of their approximate age?

Off the top of my head I'd say 1880's/1900. How tall are they? Swizzle

I think the pumpkin seed is about right for the age. Can you get better pics of the pickle. It looks sort of like a clover leaf that some of the earlier NH factories made. Is it pontilled?
I'll try and find some old threads on it.

Here's one, not quite it though.

The flask is 5 1/4" high, the pickle is 6 1/8" high. Neither is pontilled.
