Antique Questions Forum / Can anyone tell me what these flasks are for.

Hi there. Can anyone help me identify just what I have here. I have a series of sized flasks made from a ferous metal, and stoppered with wooden bungs. They are clearly hand made, and not very prettily so they are made for a function rather than to look at. The wooden bungs in my opinion are quite old. The smaller ones have a brass ferule on the neck. See Picture. Hope someone has somew idea what they are.
