Nice finds, minus the two vicks bottles, lol j/k. By the way is that Mason jar a "Patent 1858"

Yes it is! It's been tough trying to date it. Had no markings on the bottom.

I have one myself with the top and insert. From what I have researched, ours are supposedly from the civil war era. I have an article on it, iwill post a link when I find it. You get a double ^5 ^5 for that bottle alone. Nice job!
