Howzit going, Whittmore bottles usually contained polish for shoes and such. One of the bottles looks like a singers sewing machine oil. Are they machine made or handblown? This will give you an idea of the approx. age. Check the seams if they run through the top then the bottle is machine made circa: 1920's. If the seams are thick and stop below the top they are handblown circa: late 1890's to early 1900's. Many of these types of household bottles could have contained many different substances, many of which were experimental. Medicine bottles often contained cocaine and other painkillers which did what they were supposed to do, make you feel better. nice bottles :icon_thumleft:
