Thanks Kelley and Jamie!

Those are very nice. How are you displaying them? Backlit?? In a window??

Thanks, Matt. I currently have most of my bottles in two cabinets in a spare bedroom. I wish they were back-lit, but right now they're not. It's the safest place for them, due to my very active English Bulldog who runs around the house like a tank! When it's nice and sunny like it was yesterday, I love to take the bottles outside for photos, as the natural sunlight really shows the colors off well!

Cindy,

Those are some great additions to the collection. You must have quite the utility collection.

we've never dug a utility like those...we usually get the aqua nothing special ones. I did however dig a utility with an iron cross on the bottom. didn't find anything out about it though
nice bottles

Thanks everyone! Steve, I don't think they are quite that old, although I admit I don't really know much about the early, square, boxy snuff bottles. The glass on that one looks a lot like my unembossed Westford flasks. I would certainly be interested in any information I could get from other forum members on that one. I identify the last bottle as a CT utility primarily because the pontil mark on the base is very similar to other CT utilities I have, very round and not deep or jagged.
The Baltimore bottle is a very nice puce color that is a bit difficult to capture in the pictures. I should have taken it next to an amber bottle to highlight the difference. I'll put up a few more pics.....
