    Old Champagne/Liquor Bottles???

    I dont really know much about bottles, but I think these date to 1920's - 1940's. The one on the left has an inverted bottom, the one in the middle has the letter V E with a dimple between them, and the one on the right is unmarked. Are they champage/liquor bottles?

    The bottle on the left is a champagne bottle. I can't tell for the picture how old it is but they made kickup bottoms in the 1800's. They are turn mold bottles so they don't have a mold seam to go by, but check to see if the top was applied and that will give you some idea of the age. I don't know alot about champagne bottles, but I think that all of them and even today have corks. I never heard of champagne being in crown top bottles, but I could be wrong. I hope someone can add more to this. The other two could be soda or beer bottles but it's hard to tell without embossing. I checked on the letters from the middle bottle but they don't list a manufacturer with a V.E. mark. They started making crown tops in the 1890's and I think your in the ball park with the age. Hope this helps a little.

    I think Wolverine has it about right. The bottle on the left appears to be a champagne (or maybe a burgundy) bottle. The middle bottle appears to be a 24 oz. beer bottle. The bottle on the right is probably a mineral water bottle (maybe a soda). These are relatively late bottles, as you mention, but the shapes are classic.
