Hi all my name is Paul
I am new to bottle collecting as well. I was out hunting meteorites and stumbled across 3 nice bottles ( or maybe they are considered jars ) not sure. I was wondering where I should look to determine the age of the items. One is a dark purple or blue vicks vaporub container with lid Another has watermans on the bottom ( I looked up watermans on google and I believe it is an old ink container but that is all I could figure out ) The last is a Horlicks malted milk lunch tablet bottle ( I found a photo of it on a web site but it did not tell me the age )
I know it is very difficult to give info without photos so I will try to post pics soon. Any help is much appreciated
Thanks Paul

Hey Paul welcome to the forum.
You were right the "Waterman's" is a ink bottle.The Horlicks jar is from the late1920s-30s so are the other two bottles.
