Nice black glass bottle! Show us a close-up of that one.
The teal turn-mold bottle is a "hock wine" (in German, hoch wein or "tall wine") which was used mostly for Alsatian white wines. TOC versions of these bottles come in startling colors, and make great window bottles.
The honey and big green turn-mold bottles are mineral water bottles if they have rounded, bead-like lips.
The green whiskey is likely to be an imported scotch whiskey bottle (the lip finish is typical).
These would be a very attractive window bottle group!

Harry, you know things that few know. I always thought they were wines. Pics of the black glass soon.
Mineral waters were common . . . nasty-tasting, sulphurous waters which were taken for health reasons, principally for their laxative effects. Saxelhener's Bitterquille is a common mineral water that is often mistaken for a bitters bottle.

Harry, got busy tonight but I tried to get you some pics. Interestingly enough, this one came out almost touching the sand pontil cologne.
Its 9" tall, hammered, 3-piece, has a hemi kick-up with 'B' embossed. It's a deep chocolate amber. I sense its from off shore, Brit? Ireland??

Nice bottle, 'gleaner1', though I don't know the origin of your bottle. The "B" could as easily stand for "Boston" as it could for "Bristol." Of course, there are lots of other possibilities.
