Some old bottle finds from Will County, IL

[perdidogringo]

Decided to search around a creek deep in a forest preserve without my detector and found some interesting bottles. All eyeball finds. Can anyone provide any info. on these?

1. A complete bottle that it embossed with "JEWELL WATER CO. LADROC BEVCS." around the top and "CHICAGO, ILL CONT. 7 FL. OZ." around the bottom (can't find much about this bottle on the internet.

2. 2 matching green glass items (and a 3rd that isn't matching but similar that says "patent May 2, 1893"). They look like they screwed into something and looks to be electrical insulators. I actually thought they were the tops to a bed post before I realized they were glass.

3. Glass shard of old Coca Cola bottle- Embossed with "trademark in U.S. patent" on it. Wondering if it is possible to determine how old just from that shard?

Loving the insulators!

The little cone-shaped bottle is an old ink bottle.

Nice bottles, congrats!
Yes, the green items are insulators.

The Jewell Water Soda looks to be from the 1920-30s.
