These are Wheaton Glass (Millville NJ) bottles from the 1960s-80s era. I would not call them reproductions since they are not copies of earlier bottles but rather based on similar traits.

Wheaton produced many fanciful "re-creations" in brilliant blue, green and ruby red (and probably other colors) Many but not all are marked Wheaton or Nuline on the base.

They do have some small collectible value - search for "wheaton bottle" on ebay.com

Thank you for the info. I have found several of them on ebay. The top one, the fischs bitters is the one in particular that i cannot find another one of, so im wondering if its rare/collectible...

All of these were mass produced - I would think they all fall in the $5-10 range value wise.

There is, however, growing interest in 20th century glass, but mainly for the scarcer and hand crafted items rather than the mass manufactured...
