found these few bottles. neck broke on the 2-4-10 d.pepper. everyone i find is broke someway. i think i'm gonna get a top off another,grind it and glue it to the dang thing..and this other thing looks like a cannon ball. it's bout the size of a baseball and solid iron. but there's a couple prongs stiking up that makes me unsure what it is...anyone got any ideasthanks,David

nice bottles, I would say the iron ball is a counter weight.
