    Lot of 3 small antique aqua blown glass bottles. These look blown in mold with the bubbles and the seams. One has embossed branding. It reads: "Hire's Household Extract/ Manufactured By HE Charles E Hires Co/ Philadelphia, NY USA/ For Home Use." The story of Charles E Hires business ventures is wildly interesting. He started in the late 1800's with a root and berry tonic based on a recipe used by Native Americans. Fast forward into the 1900's and he helped developed root beer.  The other two bottles have "W T & Co USA" and "69" on the bottoms. These would make lovely bud vases on a sunny window sill.
    There is wear from age and use. The smallest bottle's lip feels a little rough so probably has flea bites but it's hard to discern. Please see pictures for condition detail.
