The one that says "Rochester" is a Warner's Safe Cure. The green one with the "ER'S" looks a lot like a Carter's master ink.

I personally think that old broken bottle neck and lip "finishes" are so underrated. I want to gather all of mine and grind off the jagged shoulders and fill a large 3 gallon clear jar with them like some do with seashells and wine bottle corks. So many different colors, sizes and finishes. I will probably never get around to doing it though. It would make a great conversation-conservation piece.

As for shards I cut them with a diamond coated bit to make beads and rings. What I need now
is a way to polish the dull away.
