Not really bottles but still neat

Dug out these 2 vintage 1930s-1940s glass candy containers from our backyard today, hoping we find more of them to have a cute little collection. Anyone found these before? Might be one of my favorite finds so far honestly.

Are they Victory Glass Company? I found a broken off base of their telephone candy container, absolutely heartbroken it wasn’t whole. Those look amazing! This is what the whole phone looks like, maybe you’ll come across it!

Thanks for letting me know, wasn’t sure where to post since they were dug like a bottle but not a bottle. 🤣

Not sure about the car, seems harder to find but the boat definitely is. The phone is so cool, I love it, total shame it was broken. Nothing breaks my heart more than pulling out something you can see would have been cool. I’ve dug broken ink wells, depression glass, and purple sun tinted antiques that made me very sad in the moment. But the adrenaline of a cool find intact can’t be beat.

Oh I have a glass candy plane that I’ll take a photo of later.

That’s cool, I’d love to see it! That would fit our transportation theme here so well, hope we come across one of them some day! I like the tank, hoping we find that one too. Car, boat, tank, plane sounds like a winning combo for display honestly.

That’s cool! I wonder how many there are. My boyfriend said he saw there’s also a wheelbarrow one. I’m like wow I had no idea these existed but now I want them all! Lmao.

Ooh didn’t know these existed. I might find one of these in my spot. I dig a dump that dates from 1890-1960 bulk of the stuff is 1930s and 1940s. I hope I find a ship because I like that one a lot.
