I just wonder if they are legal to sell with the contents. Although anyone that would want to ingest the contents I would question their sanity, but then people do stranger things. I notice one has strychnine in it - that's a poison!
I'll bet a lot of medications of the past, or as I refer to them as, potions, have a lot of questionable ingredients in them.
Bottles like you have are big time collector pieces for some.

According to prices on eBay, these are virtually worthless.

It seems everything these days is. Funny how when you have something to sell it is a worthless piece of junk until an antique dealer acquires it, then suddenly it becomes a priceless collectible.
I belong to a few primitive decor sites. I can tell you that your crocks and old bottles are in demand with those who decorate/collect such items.
Like most everything else collector worthy and/or antique, it's only worthless until the right person comes along.
