Would like some insight on two antique liniment bottles

While cleaning out my boyfriend's grandmother's house, we came across two bottles in a curio cabinet. I was curious how old they were and if they had any value. I've done an internet search on them. I've come across some similar bottles but nothing quite the same. Any info would be helpful.

Thank you

    Both of these products have their origins in the 19th century but can still be purchased today. Look for the Earl Sloan wikipedia page and the JR Watkins Product Company web site.

    These bottles are perhaps 1950s or 60s vintage, possibly even more recently produced than that.

    Thank you for the info. I used both of websites and I couldn't find anything that looked similar, so I figured they may be older. I found some bottles from the same companies (but slightly different in design) on ebay. The asking prices were around $20.

    Yes, but asking and getting are two different things :-)
