Does anyone know anything about old lab equipment such pictured? Cleaning out an old storage locker and found these. One smallish jar labeled Ammonium Phosphate while another is labeled Barium Chloride. Several different sizes, all glass with some glass stoppers. Just wondering g if they are all trash, neat collectibles, or what. Really not sure if they should be kept, sold, or trashed. Picture below:

Reagent bottles.  I use them for my brewing chemicals and compounds.  Especially the custom blends of yeast nutrients I do for meads ciders.  I'd bet just about any antiques/collectibles dealer would like to have them.  I'm sure there's a market somewhere for "lab used" ones.

Thanks, we have a glass blowing/ design shop nearby, going to try them first

Lab glass is pretty expensive, but bottles not so much.  I see a Buchner funnel and a bunch of reagent bottles but can't really identify the others.

While lab ware may be expensive, there is generally not much of a market for it.  Many labs are hesitant to touch glassware that has been exposed to who-knows-what over its lifetime.  I know that I would not want to put anything intended for consumption into any of the glassware from our synthetic lab.  But then again, I know who uses it and what chemicals they work with.

Thanks all. In the end, I'm going to put it with some other items the FIL collected and see who is interested somewhere down the line
