I bought about 20 bottles off of a women who said she was sick of dusting them. I paid $20 and ended up getting a some cool bottles. The rest I am not sure what they are and considering one of the 20 bottles she sold me was a Bud Ice bottle I am sure some of the others are not much either.

These are all post 1900's. If anyone could tell me what they are and maybe how much they are worth. Most have no writing on them what so ever.

Hi Kaleb, welcome to the forum. I see no one has answered this and that may be because it's not very good news. If you like them that's great but there isn't much there. These get asked about a lot.
Those are the kind of things you'd find in one of the TJX type stores and some supermarkets. They usually contain oil or vinegar with sprigs of some spice to flavor them. I've also seen them sold empty. Even when full they're around $5-$7 and meant for consumption. They come in many shapes, patterns and colors as you can see and they are to some people attractive. They may have had other uses as well but they're still common.
I hope you weren't planning a trip or something with the profits.

Thanks for the heads up. I knew these were probably nothing. You just never know. Had to ask. I did get some bottles That I know are descent and I lime them so it wasn't a total lose at all. Thanks again

The first one is a pill bottle from around 1920's.. the rest, as Eric just said, are modern decorative items.. I kinda like the blue one! Looks like you'll have a nice window display there, and I wouldn't say you got ripped off.. enjoy them for what they are.. hey maybe the Bud Ice is still full ! [;)]

The first one I've seen many times but I'm drawing a blank on the second word. Can you refresh my memory, I can't quite make it out.
