hiking finds

[Magic Fingers]

When we first moved to Montana my girls went hiking in the mountains and came across so many bottles and old homesteads. I have some of their bottle out in my greenhouse which I can't get to right now because we have so much snow. I did have 4 green bottles in my massage office and thought I would post them now. I have no idea how old or if the "year" on the bottom is really the date of the bottle. I have been looking at some of the links many of you have recommended but I end up getting lost...lol.

The hourglass shape bottle has the following on the bottom or should I say base.
E B & Co Ld
REG o No 708209
1886

The two same green ones say on the base.
L-890A
5 (anchor design) 33

L-890
5 (anchor design) 39

The large bottle on the right has no markings on the base.


Any ideas as to what I have and dates?

Thanks,
Donna

The 2 green bottles are airwick bottles. The first air freshener bottles. They had a wick in them attached to a wire pull up. some times you can find them that still have wick in them. I'm guessing late forty's early fifties. The other 2 are about same age but I don't know what was in them.

Thank you bottles10.

Why does the hourglass shaped one have the date of 1886? Or does that mean something else?
