Food bottle could've contained anything from relish to a steak or fish sauce! Federal law warning ( against reuse) is pretty common on bottles from the late 30s to 50s , dig in that area prolly lots more to be had!

thank you for the info

That warning is generally only found on alcohol bottles , but it appears your bottle has an extremely wide neck for just a fluid , it's possible it may have contained berrys in alcohol !

Cool finds you stumbled upon a mid century dump. Keep your eyes open for ACl sodas and I would dig it out just to see if there's older glass in there.

Nice bottle finds.

The first bottle looks to be a shoe polish bottle...

that oil can will clean up way better with some oxalic acid - try the hardware store (wood bleach...or deck wash.....) - it won't harm the paint but it will take off the surface rust - works great on tins/etc far worse than that - drop me a line if you have any questions
