one on left is a sauce like Lea and Perrins. the one at right is a catsup/ketchup. The Owens Illinois mark on the smaller ones would date to after 1929.....

Welcome to Tnet

Taking those bottles from left to right as seen in the second of your pictures, the first, third and fourth bottles all have an Owens-Illinois Glass Company trademark on the bottom (it’s faint on the first bottle). The second bottle, I don’t know.

As villagenut says, that would put those three bottles no earlier than 1929, which is when the company was formed and immediately adopted that ‘I within O in diamond lozenge’ trademark and used it up until the late 1940s

The first bottle has “H.J. Heinz” on the bottom, so it will be a ketchup bottle, or for a similar condiment. Heinz made other things too. Although Heinz continued to make their own bottles until 1947, they were supplementing with bought in bottles prior to that and I believe Owens-Illinois produced for them only up until 1943, so that narrows it down a little more. Owens-Illinois marks usually have a plant number to the left and a date code to the right, but the picture isn’t good enough to read them… if they are there.

The same with the third bottle. I can’t read the numbers (if they are there). If there’s no date code, it’s likely a 1929 or early 1930s bottle. Thereafter, they generally used single-digit date codes based on the last number of the year. So, ‘2’ for example could be 1932 or 1942 but they distinguished between the two decades by adding a full stop (period) after the date code during the 1940s. Then from 1947 onwards they used double-digit date codes, so ‘47’ would be 1947.

The fourth bottle has ‘48’ as a date code, so it was made in 1948.

Very nice bottle finds, love the look of the little aqua-colored sauce bottle.
Here's an early one I found on a site that had been dug by arkies a few years ago.

I just keep finding them. "Hansen's- cream top milk - birmingham, ALA.- pat. Mar.17-31 - half pint liquid- cream top pat. Mar 3.25" no idea what any of that means

I found this very small bottle. I've searched all over the Internet, but, can't find anything like it. Have any of you ever seen one?
