Your bottles are late 1800's
The Allen's hair bottle is the best of the bunch and would be $25-$50
The Paine's is a common one is $8-$15
The large ale/beer is around $3-$5 unless it has some embossing.
I'd be doing some more digging around there if it were me.

Great finds
Congrats

The value is all in the color with the Worlds Hair Restorer bottles. Common amber just doesn't sell very well. You would be lucky to get $10 for an amber. Do a search of eBay completed auctions for 'Worlds Hair Restorer' to see prices for the amber and the alternate colors. Try this link:

Hello son,

Here's a bit more history on the Mrs. Allen's, from Don Fadely's great site: HAIR RAISING STORIES

​

A bit on the Paine's, as well: Paine's Celery Compound. The 1906 Pure Food & Drug Act, spelled the end: The Federal Reporter: Cases Argued and Determined in the Circuit and ...

"Milton K. Paine, a pharmacist as early as the 1840's in Windsor, Vermont, began bottling his “Celery Compound” in 1882. It contained celery seed, red cinchona, orange peel, coriander seed lemon peel, hydrochloric acid, glycerine, simple syrup, water and alcohol. There is one ad with testimonials from six members of the clergy, perhaps to assure the public that it had not been overly steeped in alcohol. Another ad states that “Celery Compound Cures Disease of the Nerves, Kidneys, Liver, Stomach, and Bowels, and acts as a Blood Purifier and Tonic to the Central System”. This very successful medicine was soon marketed by the Wells, Richardson and Company of Burlington, Vermont, and they became the sole proprietors in the late 1880's…" Paine's Celery Compound - ******************************************

I forgot to mention, that I'd like to see good photos, after the cleanup, please.

Wow thanks for all that information I hope to find some more bottles soon and I will get some pics of them

To one they are worth nothing. To another, who knows? I have all those bottles, and several bitters that I couldn't even sell for a buck apiece. I was a big collector, now they just take up storage space. You have some oldies though.
