@Jaynebug - Hi, we have our share of stored items too.  I wonder if they will ever find a spot to be a part of the family again.  I need more room, lol.  Becca

@grannyinboxers - Thank you.  I have always loved glass, I think I had an early start in its appreciation as mom collected and displayed bottles in our west windows where the sun shown through them in the evenings.

@fauquet - Hi Michelle, I can tell you a little about some of the bottles.  The larger brown on the left with the grapes impressed was a wine bottle I am pretty sure.  The top was screw top not corked.  There is an apothocaries bottle with a top on it near the back left so I assume it had something to do with medications.  The smaller bottle left front is still full and has a label on it in poor condition.  The bottle is filled with honey from Cuba.  I’m not sure how old it is but it has to be at least 45 or more years old as trade and visiting was cut off from the U.S. for many years.  The bottle to the rear on the right is of clay, not glass and beer used to be bottled in bottle of this kind here in the Cincinnati, area.  The trademark reads “the Christian Moerlein Brewing Co Cincinnati O” and the advertising around the trademark reads Exhilarating, Stimulating, Rejuvinating, Wholesome, Delicious, and Pure Jug Lager Krug Bier.  The bottle was made in Scotland and the beer bottled in Cincinnati.  They use also a leafy background and cherubs which really sets off the beer drinking personality, LOL.  Immigrants to Cincinnati were a large population of German descent and they do love their beer.  The clear bottle right front (codd bottle) has a cobalt blue marble inside the flare at the top.  It contained a fizz drink whereby the pressure from the fizz pushed the marble to the top of the bottle, against a gasket to keep it closed.  I recall the use of the clay bottles but not of the bottle with the marble in it.  This bottle was made in the U.K. and the bottle reads, HINDLE & Co Blackpool.  You can see the Moerline bottle better on this page:  http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/moerleins-old-jug-lager-krug-bier-bottle  and their are very good photos and information on the codd bottle here:  http://sha.org/bottle/glossary.htm
