Any idea of the age and why they have different labels? I don't see any date codes anywhere. The first clear bottle from Auburn, ME has Nehi Inc under the copy right 1936 where as the green version says Nehi Corporation. On the bottom of the Auburn bottle is a R in triangle, then a C418 8. The green Standard Beverages Oakland-San Francisco bottle has PROPERTY OF NEHI BOTTLING CO CONT. 12 FL. OZ. Under "Property of" is 4302G 3. On the bottom looks like a 23 Owens Illinois saturn symbol and then a 0.

Age and what are they worth?

Nice RC Cola bottles! The clear is most likely reed glass co. bottle. Can't tell about the green one. But agree with sunrunner on the date range

The green bottle from CA is an O/I and is a 1940, if the right number is zero, as stated. I don't think its unusual for bottles made on opposite ends of the country, and by different bottle companies, to have differences in any and every feature.

My 2 cents; I have always been told that the number to the right of Owens glass symbol is the year it was made. If it had no (dot) then the bottle would be 1920 but we all know that Acl's were started around 1936 or 38? So, any number with a DOT next to it denotes 40's. Ex: 2. = 1942. I was told this was done to save money??? Nice bottles!
