I was out metal detecting today and came across some bottles I have no idea of the age. If someone could please help me identify them and also a age that would be awesome.

Bottle 1

Bottle 2 Looks like a old medicine bottle or a whiskey bottle. On the bottom it looks like a 1 and a 9

Jelly glass in the first image. The rectangular bottle is an extract bottle. The third is a pickle bottle. I'd say these bottles are 1905 to 1915 in years based on the valve marks on the bottoms.

I have to disagree with you guys on the first one.
The first one is a "Garrett" sweet snuff. Circulated up through the 1960's.
The second is a generic medical, Circ ~ the 40's.
I agree on the third it appears to be pickle or relish.

the first one has a "capstan" mark on it.

Capstan Glass Co.

The mark is often seen on items from 1920s-1930s ...

Capstan Glass . . . So, jelly jar is a likelier answer than snuff.

A generic medicine bottle of the 1940s would not have a valve mark on the bottom. The vast majority of these slender bottles contained flavoring extracts used in cooking.
