Unidentified bottle markings.

[Inoclocks]

Seeking bottle information. I purchased 80+ bottles (apothecary?) at a local estate sale. The bottles are nearly identical to each other, but have some different (3) manufacturers markings on the bottom. I drew an example of each markings on last pic. Are these authentic or repro? Estimated age? Value?
All comments are very appreciated! Thank you.

Ok, so, they are more than likely legit vintage or possibly "antique" apothecary is correct term. 80 of them, all the same size? You could do something clever or creative with them. potpourri or dried flowers or sand art or colored water of varying shades and tints...
I've seen the TCW co mark before, unfamiliar with the other two. The age... hmmm I'm going to guess at 1920's to 1950's... value is... wellllll not a whole lot. I'm tied up right now with something else, but there's going to be someone telling us what they found out about TCW Co. or the other markings which seem to indicate there was W. Germany and N.Y. commerce, to help suss out the age.
Your first post! nice, welcome to A-B.net,

T.T.C. is a mystery. The C must stand for company. Other than that I can't figure it out, sorry. Maybe someone else maybe familiar with it.

Thank you, Fred, for your comment and your welcome!
My research shows that approx 1920, the US passed a tariff law requiring country of origin labeling on imported items. So I'm speculating the bottles marked MADE IN GERMANY were manufactured around or after that date.

Thanks, Robbybobby64! I've been looking at the Wheaton mark's and agree they could be from that maker.

I come up blank on any info concerning T.T.C. If the bottles are marked MADE IN GERMANY, I wonder if T.T.C. is a German company?

I just realized the mark is T.T.G. not T.T.G.
