I have the following bottles that I need to get more information on,
That is if anyone recognises them.
I found them in a bottle warehouse that was closing after years of operation.

This is a guess, but an educated one . . . I have over 400 beer cans in my parent's attic gathering dust and among those cans are three which would probably be listed as un-priceable.  The can's I'm speaking of were test cans that Alcoa utilized to do comparisons between steel/tin cans and aluminum cans.  My father worked for and retired from Alcoa - thus I got them as a youngster when dad decided they should be a part of my collection, rather than have them go in a trash bin.  The can's have full tops (tabs are in original place), but there are no bottoms on the cans.

It is possible, the bottles you have were test bottles or demo bottles for some type of event (they look like they were meant to commemorate something).  If they are, then your bottles may be one of only ten or so ever produced.  If they are not, they still look collectible and they are something you can enjoy haivng in your collection.

Hope this helps you research the origin of these bottles.

They are commemorative bottles of some type. Your best bet is to research the bottling company's in your area and figure out who may have made it.

They are Soda Bottle Association Commemorative Bottles made for their annual conventions.....in your case, they are from when the conventions were held in Chicago
