First one is an early soda or mineral water bottle I'd guess, probably pre 1900, the blue one looks like an eye cup, for washing out your eyes.

I've never seen a glass eye wash one before

Definitly an eye wash cup, Very nice hutch (Hutchinson soda) I would say early 1890s to 1905

Hello SOD,

As Charlie pointed out, your bottle is a Hutchinson soda. They were in use 1879 to approximately 1910. They were the dominant style of bottle in the soda / mineral water category just prior to the Crown Cap bottle. The "Registered Trade Mark" embossing seems to be a TOC affectation, in my experience.

The eye wash is a stopper, if you look carefully. Is it embossed "Wyeth" by chance?
