The clear glass bottle was found at my house a few days ago while digging under my back deck. It has a seam down the sides and no markings.

The brown one was found today while out metal detecting. I found an old Iowa license plate and while checking the hole this bottle popped up. It’s hard to make out but the bottom of it says PD&CO 562.

Your clear bottle in the first pic is a whiskey flask, about 1910-15 or so. I have one that has a label that states it is 1913. The second amber bottle is most likely some kind of medicine, probably early 20s or so.
