Bottle uses and age?

[jdsarasin8194]

I found these bottles in a old water mill cellar hole and I have no clue what they were for or how old they are.
The larger one has "one pint" written on both sides of it and says, I think, "wine" on the bottom with some weird faded symbols around it.
The smaller one has "3 1/2" written on one side and I think says "owens" and "68" on the bottom.
They both have a small thread on the tops so I know that they cannot be very old, but any help would be appreciated

Well, the 3.5 is Owens Co. probably for use with liquid medicines.

Found this info at: http://www.myinsulators.com/glass-factories/bottlemarks3.html
O in a square..........Owens Bottle Company, Toledo OH (1903-1929), also Fairmont, WV; Clarksburg, WV, and other plant locations. Owens Bottle Co. merged with the Illinois Glass Company of Alton, IL in 1929 to form the Owens-Illinois Glass Company. (Julian Toulouse stated this mark was first used in 1911, but according to U.S. Patent & Trademark Office data, Owens claimed first use was not until 1919! Take your pick on which date you will accept

I agree with njguys good research. First is a screwtop whiskey dandy flask but may be wine; looks like ABM. The second is prescription ware made with the Owens Automatic Bottling Machine. (ABM)


................. Owens Bottle Company, Toledo, OH (1903-1929) and it's successor [after the merger with Illinois Glass Company], Owens-Illinois Glass Company (1929-to date). Mark is confirmed on a clear druggist bottle with date code of 1947. Sometimes just the "O" of "Owens" is enclosed within a square. I don't know when this mark was first used during the OBC years, so will have to go with "1903-1929" until further info is uncovered. I believe the mark was used up into the 1950s or '60s by Owens-Illinois, but have no definite info on ending date. See "O in a square".

I asked glass expert, David Whitten about the larger bottle; his reply is as follows:

"Well, looking at the pic it sure looks like an ordinary American-made flask, circa 1930s-1960s era. The style of the lip was very popular especially in the 1940s and 1950s....that "wide" band below the top screw portion.

If the mark had more of a vertically-arranged rectangular look (instead of a sort of shield-like) outline, I would almost swear it was meant to be the mark of Anchor-Hocking. Sometimes marks were poorly engraved by the mold maker, and turned out looking a bit differently than the way they normally looked.

But I honestly am not sure about it."
