just a few old bottles I found today metal detecting, rain had washed them up to the surface. the big one says 'whittemore boston usa' shoe polish I think. One of the little bottles has 'lyric' on the bottom. Illinois glass co. 1913-1929.

cool finds. i enjoy finding the old discarded bottles. As they say, one man's thrash is another man's treasure!
 
Yes Whittemore was shoe polish/dressing. That's a slightly newer one than I'm used to seeing (with the USA on it);some of those are quite crude and go way back. The other small ones most likely toothache medicine or something similar.

You should check that spot further as there may be other goodies there.
