Hey Treasure Seekers, recently got back from a trip to Maine, pulled these old bottles off a rock wall behind my dads place which was my my great grandfathers and dates back to late 1800s, im new to the bottle / glass world, i know small one is a perfume bottle, brown is old medicine bottle, a glass mason jar lid, having trouble with taller bottle, has seams along sides and an embossed 7 on bottom. Thanks!

I think the tall one is like, olive oil, flavoring extract or similar. It's not what I collect but I dig about a half dozen of those a year. The glass lid is the oldest, followed by the med, and the others are late 20s - 1930s.

Definitely not an OI bottle. I hate it when bottle makers don’t put a mark on their bottles. But good luck on finding information on it!

Many times, old magazine and newspaper ads that show food and other products are a big help in ID'ing and dating bottles. Studying shapes, styles and labels too. In this case, you'd need *really* old ads. :yes:
