What were the contents of these two bottles.  I found these 2 today in 25 feet of water down river near a dump site in good old VA.

Bechaud was a fairly large brewer in fond du lac. The bottle you have is common and usually sells for 5-10 dollars. However there is a version of the bechaud where fond du lac is misspelled fon du lac. Thats extremely rare and worth quite a bit haha. Engel bottled soda in fond du lac from the late 1880's up until about 1950. He used a ton of different bottles and the one you have is the most common. Worth 5-10.
