I found these two beautiful small bottles today. Anyone know what I have here. Any info please it would be nice to know a date. My guess is at least 1880s.

I got one just like the brown one. If you find out we will both know.
On the amber: The style of top (with that little flat collar immediately below) isn't normally seen till the 1890s outside of soda/alcohol/some mineral waters. Most popular in early 1900s meds/perfumes.
On the 'clear' one: If it has a slight pink/purple tint to it, it is not likely earlier than the 1890s, as the 1890s-1920 glass tends to turn pink/purple when the sun's radiation reaches it-- radiation, not light, so it does pass through the ground too. Looks like a perfume to me.
Thank you for the info spiritbear and fortapache.
