🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Any bottle people on here?

Going through stuff to put in yard sale. I can’t even remember where i got the bottles. They look like they were dug, but I didn’t dig them. The mason jars were my grandfathers. I only grabbed 1 box of 8 when the house was getting cleaned out. I’ve given a bunch away as gifts, but probably still have 20 or so. I can take close up photos if needed.

there is nothing valuable here here right? I can put them on a table for a couple bucks a pice?

Value is in the eye of the buyer. If you mean literally a couple bucks apiece, they will sell fast. But if you mean $10 or $20, the right person would pay that. The mason jars are 1930-1962, so pretty old too but also not particularly rare.

But rare or not, that is a cool set of bottles, IMO.

Yes I did mean 2 bucks per bottle. But maybe I’ll mark them a little higher if you think they are worth 10 or more.
I think the majority of the ball jars are 1910-1923 from the logo.
The Atlas and queen jars I would think would be similarly aged but I don’t know for sure.

Agreed. (I didn't see the foot on the "a".).

Well bear in mind I am NOT a bottle collector or expert, just some guy who happens to like old bottles. if I were standing at a yard sale with those bottles in front of me, I'd pay $5 apiece without thinking about it. At $10 apiece I'd be more choosy, but still likely to buy. At $20 apiece I'd be more hesitant. So it depends how fast you want to move them.
