These are cologne bottles and similar to Fenton ones but I can’t find them under Fenton. One of these is milk glass the other is opalescent both have cork around the base of the stopper and both are trimmed in gold.
Any clues would be super helpful.

I tried Fenton hobnail and there was nothing close. I have tried Cologne, Perfume and Barber bottles and nothing comes close. I have lots of hobnail and know they are not hobnail but I am beginning to think they are not Fenton. So may have to move onto Westermoreland but found nothing there either. These used to be common back in the 60s at antique malls and shows.

Hi There, I can’t tell you what this is, but, I can tell you what it isn’t. It is not hobnail. Hobnail is the name of a pattern, the pointy little bumps you find on millions of vases, little shoes, creamer and sugar sets, and soooo much more.
I looked through my whole Milk Glass Book, and saw nothing like this.
If this picture comes up, this is Fenton Hobnail

OK…. It came up. Good!! I did a quick check and I would also look for Barber Bottles. Didn’t see any just like these, but the shape works.
I will take my Fenton Books up north with me, maybe I will see it in one of them. I especially like Fenton, and have at least 3 or 4 books.
INDIANA…. Check Indiana glass…

Very pretty!
And definitely NOT hobnail pattern, as blarney_stone stated.
For what it’s worth, there’s a matching opalescent one on the dark side, and they don’t know the maker either. See item # 130338921392 over there.

I have also been challenged by this and have spent several contented hours “in the books”.
Not able to come up with anything at this time. If I do I will let you know.
Anchor Hocking made the moonstone hobnail version of this cologne…several authors say that the moonstone cologne was actually made by Wrisley New York. Perhaps Wrisley New York made other shapes?
I am partial to opalescent glass items so will keep looking for you!

They look like an old AVON cologne bottle. You might want to google “Vintage Avon Decanters”, or “vintage perfume bottles”

Thank you all for responding!
Its a mystery.
Thank you TimeSpan glad to know someone else can’t find anything either. I have spent hours and hours on research and come up with nothing but I keep going back to Fenton.
At one time these were fairly common at antique malls and sales but they have certainly disappeared from the radar now.
Certainly appreciate all the ideas.
