I found them in an old abandoned house.

Photo 1: Attractive bottle Are there any markings or maker's label on this? Base of bottle looks like it comes from a good mold and has been carefully pressed. Is it sealed? If not, it might help if you opened the bottle and described the base of the stopper. If there is a plastic cuff over a glass stem, that will help establish a date. What does the golden hang tag say? The cording doesn't look like the gold cording one finds sealing fine perfumes. I think that it probably just secures a price tag or vendor tag. You might have to look a while to find this bottle. I tried Fenton, Irice and Westmoreland on ebay just now with no results. It looks American, though if it's recent, probably made overseas. There are a number of persons knowledgeable in glass on CW. Hopefully, one of them sees your entry. Best wishes for success!
thank you so much! the third is "delagar Royal dove" Until today i hadnt actually had them with me, only pictures. But now on closer inspection I think its a lot more recent then originally thought.
Thanks again!
