Just some fragments, but maybe someone can help ID?

Found in central Texas, lots of fragments but these are the three that probably have the best shot for an ID

The black or brown glass is a insulator. They used them for power, phone an telegraph lines. People love to shoot them. Like the one you have.

I thought this at first as well, I sent it to me busy who is an insulator enthusiast. I guess he's a bottle enthusiast too. He said is a "kick-up base" bottle
 
Yep... kick up base to an old wine or champagne bottle. Definitely NOT an insulator. Your next pic is the upper "hand tooled top" part of a prescription pharmacy bottle, ca 1900. Last pick is a fragment of a Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy patent medicine bottle. From Des Moines Iowa if I remember correctly.
