Purchased these as a lot with a bunch of other stuff st an estate sale years ago.
I'm not a collector (only local stuff) so I'm not familiar with the nuances of the hobby.
I did go through the ones that are embossed, because it's easy to figure out, and used eBay. Apparently nothing special. No idea what to do about the non embossed.
But I have this one bottle that there is limited info on.
Its embossed "La Colla New York"I can find one pic on Pintrest, and a Google search says the company launched in 1920, and appears died then also.
Does that make this bottle interesting to collectors?

My first thought was that it was a soap or cologne bottle of some sort, however La Colla translates to "The Glue" in Italian, so perhaps a glue bottle?
 

I hope you'll show us the meds and stuff in the background! Those are my favorite.
 

I'll post them all if you'd like. I didn't want to take advantage of you guys.
 

The more old stuff before our eyes, the better!

I like that soda bottle to the left of the figural bottle.

On the figures left (small) is a Worcestershire sauce. On his right is Gordon's gin.

Funny, it looked like a soda, lol! If you ever watch Adventure Archaeology on YouTube, they pull out bottles that they thought were sodas, but were actually sauce bottles.
 

Great box o bottles
