Help wanted.

Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anyone could help me find out the history and value for the two items pictured below. I have no idea how old they are. I got them from my grandfather’s house after he’d passed away, so I don’t plan to sell them, but I am curious about them. My wife and I keep them in the kitchen. The oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper condiment set says made in Japan on the bottom and has an “O” and a “V” on the tops of the oil and vinegar bottles that you can see in the photo. I found an Old Continental miniature jug similar to mine on ebay for around 25 bucks, but it wasn’t a “Red top”. I think that it’s fairly common and probably from the early 1900’s, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.





Kindest regards,
Kantuck
