I found these while antler hunting last weekend. Didn't find one antler but brought home 10 bottles and a porcelain lid liner.
Some of them I know what they are, but post up if you can identify any. My favorite (although common) is the Quality Purity bottle. It shows more purple than any I have found.
The one with the circles going up each side I don't know what it is. I guess cosmetic. Maybe baby oil? I know it's not all that old. Any ideas?

And lastly, the large bottle I found a few years ago. Don't know anything about it. It also has a faint purple to it. Thanks!

I believe that the large one is a pickle jar. I have one with a partial label on it that I found in the closet of an old house. I always liked those "Quality / Purity" bottles. Nice finds.

I would have neverer thought of a pickle jar. Thanks for the info! Do you have any other info from the label, like brand or possibly a year?

Mine has a label for Strosler Choice Family Sour Pickles, but I believe it was a generic mold sold to any pickle manufacturer who didn't want to go to the expense of having their own mold made. The word "Choice" was on the top part of the label which some gremlin peeled off while it sat on my desk for years. Never could find it to glue it back on. The base is embossed, "Patented / 2 / Aug. 20, 1901". Mine is 11" tall but I've seen smaller examples.

Just noticed that mine is a like a truncated ellipse, while yours is more of a flattened octagon, so they aren't the exact same design after all. Well, so much for all my unhelpful help. Damitol, I still stand by my pickle classification.
