I don't mean to be smart guy here but it's worth what someone else is willing to give and you're willing to take. I wouldn't give you a buck for it, I don't care for milk bottles and I live a continent away. It's value would typically be determined by a collector of items from that locality. Hopefully someone here can give you definitive information instead of my drivel.

I know obscure Milk bottles from very small towns can get $100 or more. Usually a Milk from a big city will be more common with less value like around $5-$10. Don't know about yours. LEON

Neither are pontils, the milk has a valve mark and the wine bottle has a typical kickup. Here is a site to learn about glass marks etc. https://sha.org/bottle/index.htm
Just to add to what Jim stated...I see you have the milk listed on eBay for $125 starting bid. For that price it would have to be a RARE milk and someone would have to want it badly as well (on milks, rarity does not necessarily equate to valuable). If you are going to go the auction route, it is much better to start it at a reasonable price and let it ride...the market will pay what it is worth. That is a late 1920's or 1930's milk.
Isn’t it considered rare since pretty much everyone has heard of Punxsutawney PA because of the ground hog? And it’s not a very big town.....
