hello dancinalien, here is a little info on your bottle to the far right, but as alway's i may not be correct, but worth a look.

(Bitters) Saxlehner's Hunyadi Janos, Bitterquelle, Olive Green, Cork, 9 1/4 In., R-S42b $10.00 (1999)

It is a mineral water bottle from the late 1800s to early 1900s. Do a search of this forum within the last year for "bitterquelle" and you'll find lots of info on this bottle. Nice bottle, but there are so many of them around that you cannot give them away at a bottle show. Value for a mint condition specimen is less than US$10.00.

I cannot tell what the other two bottles are.
