Not a bottle collector...
but here are a couple I found today while digging for other things...the small one, I have not idead about the only markings are the number 583 at the bottom edge of the bottle.
The other is apparently a JP Ritter Company bottle that held, most likely, ketchup. I guess some of our friends from PA can give us insight to the JP Ritter Company out of Philly. Don't know the ages, but thought both were interesting and that I would share with you all. If anyone wants them for their collections, let me know and I will try and get them to you. Pictures are posted, also included a small blue bottle I have not been able to identify.

Thanks GG, The little blue bottle has on the bottom if it, a triangle within a triangle with the number 7 on the side of the triangle, its a neat little bottle about 3 1/2 inches tall. I may give Mr Silver a shout out and see if he knows anything about those bottles thank you for the tip.

Hi exnavy guy. I think that Gizmo had it mostly right pegging it as a Vick's bottle. I think the product that it held was liquid drops for stuffiness called Vatrol-nol. Here is a link to capped similar bottles on Ebay.
