I'm gonna keep most of em anyway just cause they are cool.
Thanks SL. This one (http://s941.photobucket.com/albums/a...t=IMG_2387.jpg) actually has that stamped on it. My friend guessed that it was from the Prohibition era but the cap appears to be plastic and I don't think they started using it so widely until after WWII (Remember that moment in "The Graduate": "I have one word for you -- Plastics"?)

And I agree - they are cool. My wife paints so she's thinking of using some of them for her still life...
