Picked at a Garage Sale Yesterday - Old Bottles

[JohnnyFlake]

I picked these up at a garage sale yesterday for $2.00. Ten old bottles in a falling apart cardboard box.

They look like pretty common household bottles, maybe a tonic or liquor bottle thrown in too. The hobnail looks like an eapg cologne bottle minus the stopper. You can take a 50/50 solution of vinegar and rubbing alcohol and fill them up, let them soak overnight and it will clean up the insides of them. That's what I use.

Thanks for the advice. I will try out your suggestion. What about the outside, just soap and water?

Yup

Great score on some nice bottles. I believe they stopped using manganese in glass around 1920 or so? That is the reason a couple of your bottles have a purplish hue.
