Hi, DELANA12345!
Do you know for certain that they're really old bottles?
Also, are there any seams on the bottles, please?
Thanks!

One bottle has a seam and the rest don't. The one that has a seam, the seam is going down on both sides. My mom has at least had them for 15 years or so... she found them at a Swap Market years ago. I found 2 more of them today at a yardsale.

I just found another one with seams down the sides, and one other one has seams on the top of the bottle.

If there are seams, then the ones with the seams probably aren't all that old.
What are the lips at the tops of the bottles like, please? For instance, do the lips just go out from the very top of the bottles in a thin circle or are some or all of the lips going down flat for a ways down the necks of the bottles?
Thanks!

Yes, it does!
What are the lids made of that screw on? Also, are the bottles round or rectangular and are the images on the bottles paper or a part of the glass, please? I should have asked the latter two questions in my earliest post here.
Thanks!
