I went to an estate sale over the weekend and found some small advertising jugs. I think they are from the early 1900's maybe? I gave $3.50 for both.
The first is 3 1/4" tall and says: WALLACE & GREGORY BROS. ELKO COUNTY PURE APPLE JUICE VINEGAR PADUCAH-KY.
The second jug is 4 1/2" and says: RADIUM WATER FROM THE BUNGALOW HOTEL CLAREMORE, OKLA. I think this was some kind of mineral water that was bottled when a man who was drilling for oil near Claremore found "rotton-egg-smelling" water instead. Apparently Claremore became known as "Radium Town" after that.
Hope this is the right area to post these--I know they aren't glass (but they are bottles).
Here's the pics........
