Hi everyone - I'm trying to discover whether my bottle collection has any real value. I dug most of them up about 10 years ago from a tip on a farm in the UK, so I believe most of them to be a least 50 years old. There are quite a few, so I've photographed them together and added brief descriptions of lettering etc. If anyone notices anything unique, interesting or valuable please let me know, as I'm afraid I don't know anything about them! I'm going to split them across several posts.


SET 3
********************
L-R

1.Blue tinted bottle with 'Evan Williams' written on the side. Has a screw top but the cap is missing. Has a small '1' on the back near the base.

2. Tall clear glass bottle - Lettering around top of body reads 'Osmond& Son Ltd Grimsby Lincs'

3. Clear glass 'pot', missing any sort of lid. Has the lettering 'Shippams' on the side, and 'Founded 1750' on the base.

Also not pictured another pot, similar to (4), above, but smaller, and without any lettering, except a '2' on the base.

4. Tall thin clear glass bottle without lettering except '488 2' on base.

5. Clear glass bottle with 'Mason's Extract' around top of body, and 'Made In England 2080 I' on base.

6. Rectangular clear glass bottle, no lettering except '2 3' on the base.
