Default old bottles

These are some old bottles I have stumbled upon while metal detecting some old sites. I dont know anything about bottles so any info about them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The Rawleighs bottle looks like what they used for vanilla extract, or their liniment, they were a company similiar to watkins, founded in the late 1800s, they are no longer in Business, they were absorbed by another company. May have some memories for some folks.

The milk bottle may be worth a few bucks depending on the rarity and the cobalt blue bottles often bring in some good money. I'd personally keep them all, but there not mine to do with. Awesome finds man. GL&HH

What you found looks exactly like the stuff I find. 20's through the 50's or 60's. Those ACLs are really cool.

milk bottle is nice, as are the 2 acls..depending on which city the 7up was bottled in. The krinkly (Farr from Nevada?) is pretty collectible. Yours looks like it's in good shape.

the other bottles are common household product and generic bottles. There are about 4million clorox bottles out there. I still pick them up when I find them though...I like them for some reason.... The gallon sized ones with the jug handle go for 10-15ish on eBay....

Keep hitting those MD spots, you're bound to find more!
