I believe they are for shoe polish.

All very cool, we found a couple of those little shoes down here in key west recently do you know what they were for?

A nice collection ,particularly the bitters bottles. Thanks for sharing them. I wish people at this forum would post more of their bitters bottles.

Evening, Jay and Jordan,

I've always been a fan of the shoes. I think of them as inks, as I've seen many described as such. Shoe polish, certainly would be a good usage.

I wonder on the polish angle, though. I can't think of a figural polish bottle just now. They all appear so unflinchingly utilitarian in my mind's eye.

I believe they are Anchor Hocking from the 50' or 60's. Most of the small ones I have seen were in a marigold color carnival glass. If you look close you can still see the tint on the ears of the small one. Most of the bigger ones I see around are clear like this one but I believe some were done in carnival colors as well.

Kind of hard to see but here's a pic of the Anchor logo on bottom of mine.

Hey Steve,

I'm not quite sure what you are talking about. Jordan's shoe bottles are 19th Century, definitely not Anchor Hocking.

What does the rest of your Anchor Hocking bottle look like?

Sorry I should have specified. I was answering NC digger asking about the piggy banks.

Thanks for clarifying for the easily confused...
