A little help with these?

[mpostma]

I have been detecting a park that was a fairgrounds from late 1800s until about 1950.
Last weekend I found an old dumpsite back in the woods behind the park.
Dug out more old mustard and ketchup bottles than I could carry.

Among the cans and broken bottles I found two that stood out.

The first is a 7oz clear bottle embossed from Sanitary Bottling Works of Indiana Harbor, Indiana.
With a horse head embossed on it. A large S.B.W. is embossed on the bottom.

The second in embossed in script. The Bonheur Co. Inc.
Syryacuse, N.Y. and says 14 Fl Ounces. It has a cork in it, and clear liquid inside. I suspect it is rainwater, but cannot figure out why it didn't freeze and break. The color of the glass is pale green.

Thanks in advance of any input!
