My first ever bottles!

[banton]

Just getting into the hobby after finding a local tip. These were surface finds, not started digging yet. I have no idea of the ages of any of them or the identity of any of the non-embossed ones! , any help would be greatly appreciated. Most have seems that do not extend to the lips, so I'm assuming some are pre 1900. Noteables ones are 2 Mellor & Co Worcester Sauce Bottles (Worcester), A Guy's Tonic bottle, A Mellins Food sample Bottle, and a Symington and Co Coffee bottle and a Terezol Furniture polish hexagonal bottle. I'm in the UK. Please let me know any comment you have, as I have just started this exciting hobby!! thanks!

Is that the thin fluted one or the dumpy fella? Sorry for my ignorance, Im that new!

 

[banton]

I think this is the one you meant , registration code on the base dates it to 1890, I think......

It's the Blob topped bottle just to the right of that bottle. This one.

It looks like you have a lot of sauces, I don't see the Mellin's sample in the pic? The Mellin's are very common. Gerber put them out of business in the 20's if I remember correctly LOL.

Hopefully there are some better bots down deeper. Good luck. I'm posting a link for you to take a look at It's mainly for U.S. bottles but the glossary will help with definitions. PS welcome to the Forum.

Thanks cc6pack that will help a lot, all this new terminology. The mellins is the small bottle, far right at the very front. It says "Sample of mellins food" embossed on the front.
Thanks again!
