Nice finds, looks like you found some coins too, silver? whats the lone larger looking coin?
 

Hey RingMaster,

Are any of them embossed? Besides the Clorox, which dates between 1959-1962 The Clorox Company | Heritage.

I'm guessing the Milk of Magnesias might be base embossed.

I've been digging bottles for a long time, and don't wish to denigrate your finds, but they appear to be Mid 20th Century, and unless embossed, or with good ACL, bottles of this era are not yet collectible.

If you see the dreaded words, "Federal Law Forbids Sale or Reuse…" you'll know that the bottle dates to the period 1934-1964, and in 99.9% of the cases the bottle is good for recycling, unless you are personally fond of it.

Keep digging there may be older brethren beneath…

Liquor/Spirits Bottles <<< I would highly recommend this site if you wish to broaden your antique bottle knowledge.​

I like the bottles and yes they are except one that says patent April 17, 1877
 

RingMaster,

It's difficult to tell with your long distance photo. It has a continuous thread screw top. It's machine made, and likely dates from the Twenties to the Forties.

Is the amber crown top, in the back row, left, a Certo?

Yes it is but no writing in the middle what do you think how old is it?
Patent date can't be correlated to age of the bottle. As someone else mentioned these are all " newer" bottles including the one with the 1877 patent. Fun to dig and display but of little monetary value to a bottle collector.
