1st photo looks like a lid/cap to something. on shoulder it says 4 oz avor V.G. Co Jenet, PA.

From what I read V.G. Co made candy containers. Any Idea what the rest of this looks like?

last is a Torpedo looking Bottle but the torpedos I looked up didn't look like this. Is it just a diferant style soda?

Yes, telephone candy container. Originally might have had a glass receiver attached by a piece of cord. Age could go back to the 1940's. The third picture, bottle with globular bottom, look likes what is actually inside the straw or raffia -covered bottles of Chianti and wines like that. I don't know the age of yours. Sorry, don't know what the other items are.

Thanks for the info. I found some full photos of the candy container after learning what it was. It's tough to sell the bottles when I have no Idea how to describe them.

On a side note, my 1st time out yard saleing I found one very cool looking bottle, brought it home pretty excited about my find. I came here Typed in the name on bottle and learned the disapointing facts about it lol. It's a Grolsch.

The dark green bulb shaped bottle was a wine and was probably covered in wicker. The other bottle with the round bottom is a round bottomed soda.. The style is later than the torpedos.
