Finally got to a decent circa 1910-ish trashpit and "rescued" this "Holy Water" bottle. Probably made by Whitall-Tatum Glass Co. Then almost ready to call it quits when my eyes spied something in cobalt blue. "Ah, probably broken like always" I figured, but no, it was whole! "Gargling Oil" (Merchants Co. Lockport, NY). I already have one in emerald green found under a house with original label, so a nice addition to the collection.

Then just today, stopped at an estate sale in an old overgrown house. Not much of interest except a re-pop Historical decanter (fashioned after an old 1800s flask, but larger and with a stopper (not pictured), hence the decanter moniker). I found it's 1960s era made by Lord Calvert whiskey. Gave $3 for it and it'll make a nice window bottle.
