    Hi again. I found these this weekend for not much.

    Is there any way to guess at age / location / tribal affiliation, if any?

    The bottom of one bottle has a '75' moulded in/on the glass, the other has a similar '86'.

    Thanks!

    Those are neat. Never saw anything like that before.
    The lids look to have come out of the depression era.
    Hope someone can help you more

    They might be Paiute. They did a lot of beaded bottles (and baskets). In some places where I can see the threads it looks like cotton, and in other places it looks like possibly sinew.

    That'd be awesome if they were Paiute. I've wanted one of those lovely beaded baskets for a long time, but can't afford them.

    Here's some close-ups:

    Maybe a repair???

    Some of the Paiute ones I saw had leather bottoms. Perhaps yours used to. The torn fibers look like they might be leather.

    It looks like the thread going through the beads here might be cotton or linen thread (but hard to tell). This is on the bottom edge of one of the jars. The torn fibers around the beads look like they might be the remains of leather -
