Small aqua bottles

I assume these octagonals are poison. Dimensions in photo.

Food sauce or pepper bottles is what they are. Thanks for sharing

I don't think they're food bottles at 2 inches tall. I don't know about them being poison either though, could be all sorts of different things.

Some of these small aqua bottles were indelible ink bottles with paper labels. I have embossed a Carters ink and FK (F Kidder) open pontil ink.
Also have tiny early paint bottles with paper as well.

That's reminiscent of a find featured in a YouTube video--I think it was produced by one of the "mudlarkers" from England--of a small corked bottle still full of a brilliant, metallic gold paint. Although it was a bit larger, it reminded me of the "metal flake" enamel paints, Testor's brand as I recall, I would use on car models as a kid.

I believe pinstripe decorations on furniture, signage and cabinetry was popular in the late 19th century.

Not poisons or any food sauce. Inks are not my strong point. Only have 20 or so in the collection.

I was thinking paint would be a likely one for that little one on the left as well, although the couple of labeled paint bottles I've got from that era are shaped more like inks. It is quite similar in form to those modern model paint bottles like you said though.
