These bottles have no markings on them. The bottles have two seams on them that run down the body on opposite sides. There are no seams on the bottom or neck of the bottles. The tops have three seams but are not on the tapered sections. I probably gave the worst description possible for them but maybe somebody speaks my lingo and yes I know the pictures are terrible. I'm interested in any info on them and a possible value on the group. Thanks in advance.

Look like handblown apothecary bottles, probably turn-of-century, with ground stoppers which would account for no mold lines in that area. The rectangular panels would take a paper label to show contents. Nice set.

Sandchip...what is the process by which a hand blown piece would have mold lines and no pontil scar? Interesting stuff and that is a cool set! I’m a coin hunter but after seeing what some of these bottles go for, I can make a change!:laughing7:

One of these two tools would've been used which largely replaced the use of a pontil after the late 1850s or so.
