Hello All. Need some hep on these bottles. How old are they? Worth anything? I see on-line info suggesting they are soda bottles?

Found 'em at a small old town empty lot near the city center in a once upscale area. The mold parting line stops short of the cork end so I think that means they have some age on 'em.

Thanks for the view and any info. C9

Cool---they are called torpedo or Hamilton bottles , reason for the bottom was to keep the fluid in contact with the cork [while laying on its side ] so the cork wouldn't dry up and shrink-- the high dollar ones are the dark blue, amber and dark green

They are keepers. Wine i think. as was said kept sideways on ships to keep cork from drying out.
