Well I don't think they should be called bottles but rather, maybe vials. Found these on the same property over the last few years and the most recent one found today (far right) has prompted me to ask what they may have been used for. The family who lived here way back throughout the 1870's through 1921 discarded a lot of old patent medicines from 1880-1900 time period, many of which were "quack remedies". These little guys are all unmarked, and the latest one has a crude screw top although not a ground lip. Were these also medicines or perfumes or something else. About 2.5 inches tall and about .75 inches diameter. Thanks for looking, vn
