The bottle on the left is a hock wine , the center bottle is some sort of beverage and bottle on right is a olive oil bottle all date likely 1890 to 1910 and would be considered very common bottles

Thanks didnt think they are anything special but I like them especially the black one

Hey jtw,

I agree with Gaspipe on the dating parameters. What's the size of that Hock? Good window bottles, those.

I'd call the small crown a tenpin. There were a number of firms that used the form; Billy Baxter to Schweppes, off the top of my head.

The Brits & Commonwealth folk call em skittles.

Oops gave you size on the wrong bottle the hock is 11 and a half tall and 2 and a quarter base. It's 7 and a half inches tall and bottom is about 2 inches very oddly shaped lots of air bubbles what gets me is seam to the top but the indent on the bottom just a cool bottle looks like someone messed up the mold lol

Fits perfect in your hand though the black one just seams very very old and the taller clear one I read it is a bottle from Germany for wine

Keep your eyes open I will start going deeper in my collection to learn more and make the jump to privys

Hey jtw,

Sorry, my spellcheck wants to fool with your initials. The reason I asked the dimensions, is that the Hock is perhaps a split, or half bottle. Either that, or you have a giant olive oil.
