Family Farm Finds

I recently found a number of jars and bottles on my husbands grandfathers farm who recently passed away at the age of 90. He owned the property since the 1950's. I've found several Ball canning Jars, a brown liquor bottle, what looks to be an ink bottle, a honey jar, an Avon perfume bottle and several cow antibiotic bottles from the 1970's and 1980's. I really don't care about the antibiotic bottles. I'm using them for a memorial project that will be going to family members. I'm most interested in the large clear liquid quart glass bottle and the brown liquor bottle, Ball Jars and ink bottle. But any info would be great. I don't know if you can tell me what brand of liquor the brown bottle is or just the bottle manufacturer. I'd like to modge podge a printed label on it if I can figure out what it was just for decoration. If you need any other photos please let me know. Thanks for the help

    Unfortunately that whiskey bottle is plain and gives us only one clue to go by - the R29 mark which means Rectifier #29

    I have built a list of registered Rectifiers and Distillers but do not have #29...still looking
