Those are actually miniature whiskey jugs given away by individual whiskey sellers, bars and saloons, not distilleries, in the 1880 - 1920 period as advertising. They are VERY collectible but their value depends on rarity and desirability. Location is quite important, those don't appear to have city names. My thinking is they will start at $100 unless they are real common. More research is required.
