    I recently bought a historic building with a secret basement full of bottles like this. I'm looking for any information about them such as worth, age, purpose, etc. thanks so much

      They often had information under their base and I know that in Canada that these bottles were mostly used either for Wine or Vinegar in the 1930's.

      Not much first glance... look for any pottery, and move stuff around...Medicine bottles with writing...The pvc piping coming out of wall tells me someone has been there, prob before you purchased the building, you can believe if there was anything of high value it's gone, not such a secret...Good Luck, check entire basement if that's what you're into...Never know

      I also found old Clorox bottles too. I've tried to post more pictures but it doesn't look like it's working.

      And the piping was put in by myself.

      Also the bottles say Duraglas on the very very bottom side, not sure if that helps.
