These might all be glass. The center one might be rock crystal.

Determining age of snuff bottles is difficult - especially glass or hardstone bottles. Often the best you can do is an educated guess.

If you follow the link below to the very bottom, there is a link to Horse Snuff Bottles where I discuss some things to consider when judging age.

If you follow the link at the end of the Horse Snuff Bottle link, it will take you to a snuff bottle discussion forum.

Cheers,
Stan
