WT Co - 1889 - Amber probable Pharmacy Bottles

Are they square or cylindrical in shape? How tall?Where does the seam fall on the neck?They could be worth $20-40 each, or more at a show.H.H.
 

Bottles are square and they are 10 inches tall. Seam is lateral on both sides of the bottles. No seam visible on the neck.

Thanks

They are pharmacy bottles or perhaps used in a hospital.Since they probably contained chemical compounds,i'm sure they originally had a glass stopper.As for the labels"TR.MATICO AND TR.ENUL" if i'm not mistaken,I think that is latin,which is or was common back in the 1800's and to some extent even today.However i'm not too edjumacated when it comes to latin. :) The seamline or lack thereof one on the neck seems to indicate that the bottle should be a little older than 1889,but you said it's embossed with that patent date so I would go with that.Did you dig these bottles? H.H.
