Those are keepers.
I’ve found a lot of bottles in my hunting career, but never one of those. 👍🏼

Cool bottles.

The Owens-Illinois mark has the plant code ‘8’ to the left, which is for Glassboro, NJ in operation between 1930-1940. After that, the code was re-allocated to the New Orleans plant. However, the date code ‘7’ to the right is for 1937, since by 1947 the company had switched to double-digit date codes and 1947 would be ‘47’ not ‘7’.

If the plant code is '6' not, '8' then it's for the Charleston, WV plant in operation between 1930-1962 before the code was then re-allocated to Winston-Salem, NC. The same system applies to the date code... single digit up until the changeover to double digits during 1943-1944 and then thereafter.
