I've gathered old bottles since I was a child, my brother and I would dig together here in Massachusetts. Flash forward 50+ years and I still take home the odd one in thrift stores and flea markets, never more than a few dollars, I'm a cheap Yankee. These bottles have been acquired over the last 10 years, my digging days are long over. I keep them for the crudeness and colors in my windows but I don't have the vast knowledge that's found in this Forum.
I'm thinking maybe a few Stoddards or at least old New England Glass for the PATENT flask and the ale/beer bottle ? The others are a few unknowns but the light yellow/green one I was thinking maybe was wicker covered at one point ?
I'll leave the rest for you experts to figure out the age and possibly purpose. There are enlarged detailed photos when the thumbnails are clicked but please excuse my photography skills, although the colors are accurate. I will add a bottle with pics as a response.
#1 Black glass flask embossed 'PATENT' on the shoulder, lots of whittling and tiny sead bubbles. 6+1/4" high.
