Dear Adrian,
no need at all to apologize! I was referring to the lack of comments from others. And, I too am missing those old film times! My Nikon F cameras are sadly in a drawer.
Coming back to the bottles discussed here, I agree with Joey about the three bottles. I believe that there are great chances that all three are old bottles. Instead, look carefully at the shape of your first bottle and compare with similar shaped old bottles. The difference is evident, the old ones are much more elegant.
But I don’t agree with Joey about Cathy’s bottle. Dear Joey, look at the area in the big light spot, at about 10 o’clock of the body. You can see there that the grinding is not accurate, quite sloppy; the round body is almost faceted instead of showing a smooth curving. That is typical of recent bottles.
Kind regards
Giovanni
